Authorities in Pennsylvania said a boy was killed in a drive-by shooting in Chester on Sunday evening.
Chester police identified the 7-year-old boy as Sinsir Parker. He was found by responding officers lying in the middle of the street.
Parker was fatally shot in the drive-by shooting and was found with gunshot wounds in the face, ABC News reported.
Witnesses told the outlet they heard about 15 gunshots throughout the neighborhood at the time of the shooting.
The location of the shooting was on the 2600 block of Swarts Street and happened around 9:15 p.m., police said.
No motive for the shooting was released and authorities haven’t announced any information of a possible suspect.
Investigators working on the case are currently collecting evidence and information.
Police said the boy’s death is the 14th homicide in Chester this year, The Associated Press reported.
Chester is the oldest city in Pennsylvania and the largest city in Delaware County, not far from the Delaware state line and just across the Delaware River from New Jersey.
Girl Shot Outside Home in North Carolina
Also on Sunday, authorities in North Carolina said a one-year-old girl was shot while playing outside a home on McDougald Terrace in Durham.
Investigators at the Durham Police Department told ABC 11 the gunman fled the scene and police were not able to make an arrest.
A stray bullet hit the baby girl, apparently accidentally, WRAL reported.
The toddler was transferred to a nearby hospital with minor injuries and is expected to survive.
The child was supervised by a parent who was outside at the time of the incident.
The parent did not get injured, but investigators believe the parent was the target of the shooting instead of the child, ABC 11 reported.
The shooting happened just after 4:30 p.m. on Truman Street in Durham and was reported by multiple residents, police said.
Many residents gathered at the scene, with some being worried about the current social distancing measures to help curve the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, a CBS 17 reporter said.
