A 16-year-old boy has been shot dead as he walked his sister home from a neighborhood party last Saturday.

Zamarian Cooper was a saxophone player and had big plans for his future, but his life was cut short when he was shot dead as he walked his sister home from the party. "He was not a target. He was a victim of circumstance," said Police Chief Jeffrey Lewis. "Because when these four shooters were firing, it was relatively indiscriminate. And I believe he was just in the line of that fire."

Authorities said that they had arrested one of the four shooters that were exchanging fire at the time of the incident. They are urging the public to help identify the other shooters: "In order for us to bring justice to the young man, the community needs to step forward," the county prosecutor said.
