Fifteen-year-old Daniela Espinosa was shot and killed inside her Phoenix home on a late Sunday evening. Daniela’s brother was also wounded by gunfire in the foot and survived. Daniela was taken to the hospital but succumbed to her injuries.

The teenage suspect was detained at the scene and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault. Police described the shooting as occurring while the suspect was manipulating the firearm, though some family members have expressed disbelief that it was purely accidental. Daniela is remembered by relatives as caring and big-hearted, with a love of music and sports. A curbside memorial has been created and funds are being raised to help cover funeral costs.

If anyone knew Daniela or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
