She was with a group of teenagers who had gone to a house to do a "retaliation" prank on another teen who'd done a prank on them on Halloween, according to the Little Rock Police Department.
The teenagers told police they had thrown toilet paper, eggs and mayonnaise on a car parked there.
As they were leaving, a man came out of the house and opened fire.
Broadway was struck in the head and died.
Another teenager, the driver, suffered injuries to his right arm. He was transported to a hospital, where he was treated and released.
Police have identified the shooting suspect as 48-year-old Willie Noble. He was charged with one count of first-degree murder, one count of a terroristic act and five counts of aggravated assault, they said.
Bond was set at $1 million.
My heart goes out to the victims family. This is truly a shocking story, seeing as how it could've happened to me as a child as well. The fact that Noble's first thought was to reach for his trusty shotgun however, was the scariest part of all. There's no room to justify Noble's actions either some say: he couldn't see, or he was mistaken. But if he couldn't see Broadway, how was it that he managed to plant a bullet in her head?
This is so sad that this prank could go so wrong. -Nia Edwards 4th period
