Mother Pleads For Justice After 5-Year-Old Daughter Fatally Shot Leaving Family Party

The mother of a 5-year-old girl who was killed in Chicago while leaving a family function with her father is calling for “justice” and asking that the suspects turn themselves in, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Family members identified Reign Ware as the 5-year-old who was sitting in a parked car early Sunday morning when a black Jeep Cherokee pulled up to the area and began shooting, according to the outlet.

One witness who observed the shooting from his bedroom window told ABC affiliate WLS that it appeared to be an ambush attack.

“Somebody was in the car and got the baby out,” the witness said. “The baby was limp.”

Police told HuffPost that as of Tuesday, no arrest had been made in connection to the incident.
