Nyzireya Moore was 12 when she was struck by a stray bullet on March 1, 2022, in the West Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. She was riding in a car with family members celebrating her birthday when gunfire erupted; the bullet entered the back of her head. She was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital and died a few days later.

Investigators recovered 25 shell casings at the scene. Police say surveillance footage and witness statements helped identify suspects, and an anonymous tip also played a key role. Authorities charged multiple people: 22-year-old Malik Parish and 20-year-old Abdul Ali were initially charged with first-degree murder, with Parish also charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle and Ali facing unlawful use of a weapon counts. A third suspect, 23-year-old Rahdeem Calhoun, was later charged with first-degree murder.

If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, please come forward.
