Jalinda Campbell was a 12-year-old African American girl fatally shot on October 28, 2016, while sitting on the porch of her Southern Pines, North Carolina, home. The shooting happened about 4 p.m.; a 3-year-old, Kyleigh Graham, was injured in the same incident. Both children were taken to hospital—Jalinda died at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, and Kyleigh was flown to Duke University Medical Center for treatment.

Investigators concluded the attack was a drive-by and that the children were not the intended targets. Authorities identified suspects quickly: 16-year-old Montice Tyree McManus was arrested and charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, and 20-year-old Malik Rashad Crawford was charged with accessory after the fact of murder. McManus was held without bond and Crawford was released on a $300,000 bond; McManus had a court date set for November 22, 2016.

The community held a vigil and the porch where Jalinda was shot became an impromptu memorial. Anyone who has information about the shooting is asked to contact the Southern Pines Police Department.
