Ny’Andrea Amya Dyer was 11 when she was killed on March 1, 2021, after a stray bullet struck her while she sat in the backseat of her mother’s SUV at a West Pullman gas station in Chicago. The bullet entered her face and lodged near her spine; she spent 21 days in the ICU at Comer Children’s Hospital before being taken off life support and dying on March 22, 2021.

Police said Ny’Andrea was not the intended target. Authorities charged 27-year-old Marcus Starkey on April 2, 2021, with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery, accusing him of firing at an 18-year-old he believed was about to rob him; the teenager returned fire and one of Starkey’s bullets hit Ny’Andrea. Starkey was denied bail and extradited from Minnesota. A $20,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.

Ny’Andrea’s family planned a memorial celebrating her love of dancing and her favorite colors, pink and purple. Does anyone have information about that night at the gas station or recalls seeing anything that could help the investigation?
