MaKeila Burkes was 2 years old when she was fatally shot during a drive-by shooting in Fort Pierce, Florida. The shooting happened April 20, 2015, while MaKeila was inside her home in a residential neighborhood; someone fired an assault rifle from a car and struck her. It is reported that the apparent intended target was MaKeila’s father. She received medical attention but died of her injuries a few days after the shooting.

The Fort Pierce Police Department opened an investigation, but investigators have reported difficulty obtaining sufficient evidence and securing witnesses willing to speak. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Family and neighbors made public appeals for information following the killing.

Did anyone in the Fort Pierce area at the time see a suspicious vehicle or person that could help this investigation?
