Prosecutors say the girl had fled to a neighbour’s home in Camden when gunshots rang out on Aug. 24. Prosecutors say the intended target of the shooting ran to the same doorway though, and the girl was shot in the head. She died two days later.
Prosecutors say the shooting followed an ongoing dispute between Brown and the intended target.
