Richard, what do we know as of right now? Bianca, we can tell you that a 14-year-old who has been arrested, according to our sources

is on his way here to the 4-2 precinct in the Bronx. Arrested earlier this morning, he's expected to be charged at some point today

Meanwhile, we're learning more about the victim. 16-year-old Yvette Jeffrey, her family says, was an aspiring medical student

a young lady who wanted to go into a field where she could save lives

Instead, her life was cut short by a stray bullet while she was part of an after-school event

The bullet coming from a pistol that was in the hands of a 14-year-old boy

Meanwhile, the victim's family is trying to understand just what happened to their beautiful event

A young lady described by her grandmother as fun-loving, someone who wanted to be everyone's friend

According to police Yvette was walking at around 5 o yesterday outside a building that houses three schools in the Bronx Morrisania section NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch saying that a group of around 20 teenagers

were in a schoolyard when a fistfight broke out. A boy was punched, then someone slipped him a pistol

He fired three shots, one of those bullets, striking Yvette, who was just three blocks from

her home. Yvette was rushed to Lincoln Hospital, where she died. The commissioner saying these are

babies, killing babies, and that the violence has to stop. The victim's grandmother tells us

she'll have a difficult time forgiving whoever killed her granddaughter. No, I don't forgive you. I hold your family responsible

because they shouldn't be watching you. Whoever handed it to you or you had it

I will never forgive you. I don't care. They can say I'm sorry a million times. I will never forgive

any of you. Any of you. Yvette's family says they are planning a vigil in honor of Yvette later this week. But once again

this shooting death is on its way here to the 42nd precinct expected to face charges at some

point today. We're live in the Melrose section of the Bronx this afternoon. Richard Chiacobos
