Chassidy Saunders, known online as the TikTok Princess, was six when she was killed in a drive-by shooting on January 16, 2021, in Miami. The shooting happened around 7 p.m. outside a residence on Northwest Sixth Place in Miami-Dade County during a birthday party. Two adults who were not related to Chassidy were also critically injured; Chassidy was taken to the hospital and died a few hours later.

Chassidy was a kindergarten student at Beacon College Prep Elementary in Opa-locka and remembered for her light-colored eyes and sweet demeanor. The community held a candlelit vigil and called for justice, while local activists highlighted the broader problem of gun violence affecting children.

Miami police launched an investigation to identify the gunman. In June 2023 Warneric Anthony Buckner was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder in connection with the shooting; he was already in federal custody on an unrelated identity-theft sentence. The Broward County State Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the case.

Did anyone at the party or living nearby see something that could help investigators?
