Eleven-year-old Takiya Holmes was killed on February 11, 2017, in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood after a stray bullet struck her in the head while she sat in her family’s minivan. The shot came during a burst of gunfire aimed at rival gang members selling marijuana nearby; prosecutors said the gunman fired 12 shots. Takiya was taken off life support a few days after the shooting.

The shooter was identified as 19-year-old Antwan Jones, a member of the Black Disciples street gang, and he was arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder in connection with the incident. Takiya’s family has spoken about their loss, and her organs were donated, helping to save other lives.
