Bailey, who was sitting in the rear passenger seat of a black SUV, had been shot, and she was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

On Thursday, friends and family gathered to remember Bailey. One of her close relatives told Eyewitness News she's fed up with all the senseless violence.

"It's happening way too common for us to lose mothers and even fathers," she said. "It's a senseless act of ignorance."

There were two other people inside the car at the time of the shooting, but their relationship with the victim is unknown.

Detectives said they were still interviewing witnesses to determine exactly what happened. No arrests have been made.
