Southfield girl, 8, dies after shooting; brother charged
Southfield
The 8-year-old girl allegedly shot once in the head by her brother Sunday night, has died, police said Thursday. The details of what led up to the shooting of this child are too disturbing to release to the public at this time, said Southfield Police Chief Elvin Barren, at the 10:30 a.m. press conference. Releasing details too soon could be an issue for our case, Barren said, as one factor in the limited release of information. Respect to the family was another.
On Wednesday, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald charged Gyasi Stribling, 20, with assault with intent to murder and felony firearm, the office said Thursday.
