According to City of Miami Police, Chassidy Saunders was attending another child’s birthday party on Northwest Sixth Place, near 54th Street, when the gunman or gunmen opened fire into the crowd of women and children, Jan. 16.
Paramedics rushed Saunders to Ryder Trauma Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.
Two other people, both adults, were also shot, but they survived.
The girl’s death prompted calls for change to what local leaders called a “gun violence epidemic” in Miami-Dade County.
