Ni’Dreyah Marshall, a 17-year-old student at Woodland Hills High School and praise dancer at The Cathedral at Seed and Harvest Ministries, was shot and killed in the early hours of February 23, 2026, in her mother’s apartment at the Brentmoor at Penn Center in Wilkins Township, just outside Pittsburgh. She was struck once in the head while sitting on her bed and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three other people were in the apartment. According to witness statements, the group had been drinking and smoking marijuana when a handgun owned by one of the men was brought out. Witnesses say 20-year-old Rayohna Hexstall waved the gun and was holding it when it discharged; the owner had removed the magazine but a round remained in the chamber. Two people called 911 and paramedics arrived to find Ni’Dreyah deceased. Hexstall initially blamed another person but witness accounts contradicted that.

Allegheny County Police arrested Hexstall and charged her with involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment; she was arraigned and taken to the Allegheny County Jail. A one-year-old child was also in the apartment at the time. Did anyone who knew Ni’Dreyah or was in that building that morning see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened?
