14-year-old girl dies after shooting sends bullets into Prince George's Co. home

A teenage girl has died several days after she and two others were injured in a shooting that sent a barrage of bullets into an apartment building in Prince George's County, Maryland.

Khamya Ferrell, 14, of Suitland, was pronounced “clinically deceased” last Wednesday, according to a news release from Prince George's County police.

She was shot last month while inside an apartment in the 6600 block of Atwood Street in District Heights. Police said they do not believe Ferrell was the intended target.

Another woman inside the apartment was also shot. Outside, police found a man who had been shot. Ferrell and the two other victims, who police said had non-life-threatening injuries, were taken to the hospital.

District Heights police believe the bullets went through a window.

The city's mayor, Cynthia Miller, said what happened was “a truly senseless act and a cowardly act” during a news conference after the May 31 shooting.

Prince George's County Police are investigating and offering a cash reward in this case. Police asked anyone with information to call 301-516-2512.
