COOLIDGE, AZ — A teen girl has died after a drive-by shooting in Coolidge.
Officials with the Coolidge Police Department say just before 1 a.m. Thursday, officers responded to a 911 for a child who had been shot in a neighborhood.
When emergency crews arrived they began life-saving measures on a 14-year-old girl who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
She was taken to a hospital where she died.
Family has identified the girl as Miyka Crawford.
Loved ones tell say they are devastated, left wondering why someone would do this.
“It's just traumatic,” Antoinette Scott said.
Miyka’s aunt, Antoinette Scott, is still trying to wrap her head around what happened.
"14 in age, but she was just still a child," she said. "She was just so full of life and energy, and she wanted to be an entrepreneur, and start a business…and have a nice car."
Through an early investigation, detectives learned it was the result of a drive-by shooting.
Numerous shell casings were found on the street with more than a dozen bullet holes piercing the front of the home and entering the living room and bedrooms.
"We were starting renovations in the home, so they moved their bed out of the one in the bedroom, to put it in the living room,” Scott said.
The bed was directly pressed up against the living room window.
"She was in bed, with her sister and her mom, sleeping when it happened. She never woke up. Her mom woke up because she felt something on her leg. When she woke up Miyka was gone," said Scott.
The suspected vehicle is described as a blue-colored Kia sedan. The car was reportedly stolen from Eloy and later found unoccupied in Gilbert, by the Gilbert Police Department.
The family is now hoping whoever did this gets caught, soon.
"Are you satisfied with taking a child's life? Pay your price. She was innocent. Y'all not. I want justice. For Miyka," Scott told ABC15.
No suspects have been identified or arrested.
An investigation remains ongoing.
