Secret Pierce, a seventh grader at Milner Middle School, was sitting in a parked car when she was shot in the head, police said. She died Friday morning.
Investigators searched for the suspects Friday. The shooting was captured on surveillance video, but the footage was grainy and police were trying to identify the suspected vehicle, Boisvert said. Authorities believe there were two people in the car.Bronin said all three were known to police because they had extensive criminal histories that included firearms arrests. He said it appeared one of the surviving victims was on probation, and another was awaiting adjudication for a firearm offense.
City schools Superintendent Leslie Torres-Rodriguez said at the news conference that counseling and other support services were being offered at Secret's school and other schools across the district. "When a tragedy happens such as this one, it does have wide ripples," she said. "And to us, Secret was one of our beautiful and very capable students. And we have activated all of our crisis support teams.
"Trauma is not foreign to us in Hartford and in Hartford public schools," Torres-Rodriguez said. "So it's really hard for us to compartmentalize or separate when events happen. And so while we are going to galvanize all of our support and our partners, dealing with the trauma is an extended process."
Several children, nearly all of them teens, have been fatally shot in Hartford over the past several years. Two years ago, 3-year-old Randell Jones was shot to death while in a car with family members during a drive-by shooting. Police believe a man in Randell's car was the intended target. The court cases of two teens charged in Randell's death remain pending.
