Two-year-old Girl Shot Dead in Detroit

[From article]
In the hard-bitten city of Inkster, a little girl’s killing appears to have crossed a line.
The triple shooting Tuesday night that ended the life of 2-year-old Kamiya French and left two of her relatives wounded violated the “code of the streets,” said neighbor Antwan Harrison. A witness said Kamiya had been playing outside when she was shot in the head at point-blank range.
But as residents struggled to understand what was described by the city’s police chief, Hilton Napoleon, as retaliation for a shooting in April, the community spoke out, providing tips that helped police arrest a suspect less than a day later

A witness said a man walked up to two kids playing in a yard and shot the 2-year-old, then turned the gun on her father and the other girl, who was struck multiple times.

Napoleon said the shooting appears to have been retaliation for a shooting in April at an after-hours club on Middlebelt across from Inkster High School that left three people, including the suspect, wounded.
“We do know that the adult that was shot last night, and also the suspect that did the shooting, were up there the night of that shooting back in April,”

Moments earlier, a white van drove by the house, dropped the shooter off a few doors up the road, drove by the house again and parked on the other side of the house.
The shooter “casually” walked up, fired the shots and continued walking to the van, gun in hand, before the van drove away, Anderson said.
