Emily Keiper was 16 when she was fatally shot on August 19, 2022, during an apparent robbery connected to a planned marijuana transaction on Elmer Avenue in Buffalo, New York. Reports say two teenagers arranged to buy a half-ounce of marijuana and intended to rob the seller. Keiper was in the vehicle where the meeting took place when a handgun was discharged; she was taken to a hospital and died of her injuries.

Two suspects were arrested: then 17-year-old Jah’sincere Hill and then 14-year-old Ron B. Summers Jr., both initially charged with second-degree murder and attempted robbery. The younger suspect’s case was handled in family court because of his age; the adult/juvenile distinction is a key part of how the matter moved forward.

What details about that night or about the people involved might help clarify how the encounter turned deadly?
