Child shot dead NC | 2-year-old killed in Durham drive-by shooting identified

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) — The 2-year-old girl shot dead in Durham on June 20 has been identified as Manariah.

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by his family and friends to help cover funeral costs.

Manariah was one of three people shot dead on East Cornwallis Road.

“Our sweet 2-year-old baby girl, with a smile that lit up the room, is now gone and all we have left are the memories of our sweet little girl,” the GoFundMe organizer wrote of Manariah.

Maranriah's mother was also among those injured in the shooting.

The GoFundMe said Manariah was also survived by her 3-year-old sister.

Videos from the night of the shooting revealed it was a shootout between two vehicles. Police have not said whether the shooters intended to shoot at Manariah's home or whether the bullets that entered the home were off target.

“Sometimes I have to say an extra prayer in my house just to get out,” one resident said.

No arrests have been made and no suspects have been named in the investigation.
