Amethyst Silva was celebrating the New Year with her family outside the Allure Apartment Complex off Middlecoff Road. As midnight arrived, the peak of the excitement, she was hit with a gun shot.
Amethyst Silva died from celebratory gun fire on New Year's Day 2023. That day has been stuck in her parents mind like it happened yesterday. They're still figuring out how to live with this.
