Case Background
Police officers responded to Leon Day Park at approximately 6:15 p.m. Saturday after reports of gunfire near the youth football event. Investigators believe two gunmen exchanged fire with each other, and Khloe was caught in the crossfire while she was likely watching the football games, authorities said.
The other victims were a 25-year-old woman, a 28-year-old man and a 23-year-old man. The 25-year-old woman was with Khloe at the time she was shot, according to authorities.
The gunfire appeared to stem from a dispute over a parking spot at the park, according to NBC News.
What Officials Have Said
Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley addressed the shooting at a news conference Saturday night, saying, “What we know is that there was some type of argument between two cowards, and of course, they both opened fire on each other. In the crossfire, a 12-year-old little girl who was probably down there watching football was shot and killed.”
Worley also addressed the apparent cause of the confrontation, saying, “The dispute most likely occurred from a stupid parking spot,” according to NBC News.
What’s Next
Baltimore homicide detectives are investigating the shooting and continue to search for the two gunmen involved, according to Fox News. No arrests or charges have been publicly announced in connection with the case.
