JaNya Hebert was 16 when she was fatally shot on July 11, 2021, in Lafayette, Louisiana. She was sitting in a car on Harrington Street in the early morning hours of that Sunday when gunfire struck her in the back. She was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of her injuries.

Investigators focused on a group of teenagers and three male suspects were arrested in the days and months after the shooting: a 16-year-old arrested shortly after the incident and two other teens, aged 15 and 16, arrested later. The suspects faced charges including first-degree murder and illegal discharge of a firearm. One of the 16-year-old suspects was ordered to be tried as an adult and was charged with second-degree murder, a charge that carries the possibility of a life sentence if convicted.

The motive for the shooting has not been made clear. Does anyone have information about JaNya, the incident on Harrington Street, or the people involved?
