Officers responding to a report of shots fired found the 13-year-old with a gunshot wound, police said. She was treated on scene and transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Police believe the child was sitting with friends at a picnic table when what is believed to be a black Ford Freestyle SUV drove by and someone inside the vehicle began shooting in the direction of the victim before speeding away. Multiple shell casings were found at the scene and there appear to be no other victims, police said.
The suspects have been charged with first-degree murder and are being held with no bond at the Union County Jail. The motive in the shooting is under investigation.
