Thirteen-year-old Miracle Yvonne Hunt was killed on the evening of July 7, 2023, after a single gunshot was fired into a crowd near Broadway and Mortimer Street in Buffalo, New York. Miracle, a track athlete and cheer coach who was about to enter eighth grade, was not the intended target; the shooting reportedly grew out of a dispute that began on social media. The bullet struck her in the head and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her family remembered her as a happy, helpful daughter and big sister. Investigators followed the case for months; in March 2024 a grand jury returned an indictment charging 21-year-old Avantae Tay Ayala with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, alleging the shot was fired from a vehicle. Ayala was already in custody on an unrelated weapons sentence at that time.

Does anyone have information about Miracle, the July 7 gathering, or the events that led up to that night?
