She was a straight-A student who had recently gone for her first job interview.
But she wasn't able to escape the bullets that flew at a neighborhood barbecue she attended July 4 on the 1000 block of Vesta Avenue in South Linden.
Indiah Corley, 14, died on July 11, seven days after she was shot. She had just finished 8th grade and was getting ready to start high school at KIPP Columbus
Two other teenagers were injured in the shooting; both survived their injuries.
Heather Corley, Indiah's mother, said Indiah was not the target of the shooting and the lack of information being provided to police by the community to help solve the case is frustrating.
