A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Indianapolis over the weekend when 14-year-old Deandra Staples was found shot to death and abandoned in the snow near the Laurelwood Apartments on the south side of town. Family members demand justice for what they describe as a heinous and senseless act.

“If any kid thinks it’s okay to pull out a gun and kill yourself, think again because you’re going to be held accountable,” said Ramona Griffin, Deandra’s grandmother, speaking to WRTV. Detectives discovered Deandra’s snow-covered body on Saturday, sparking grief and outrage among her family and community.

Griffin condemned the actions of the unknown assailant and questioned the inhumanity behind the crime. “How can you be so cruel and evil? Shoot this baby in the head and leave her in the snow. What could she have done to make you hate her so much? she asked.

The family alleges that Deandra was deliberately taken from her home, less than a mile away, and murdered. Griffin said: “They knew she was a minor; “They tricked her out of my house and killed my baby.”

Maranda Sanders, co-founder of Steps by step G3described Deandra as a force to be reckoned with. “She was definitely small, but mighty,” Sanders said. IndyStar. “You couldn’t always see her, but you could hear her. “She gave 110% when she was in practice and when she was performing.” Deandra joined the team at age 11 and has been a dedicated member for four years.

The Marion County Youth Violence Prevention Coalition expressed its sadness over the loss of Deandra in a statement: “It is with deep pain and anguish that we recognize the tragic loss of 14-year-old Deandra Staples, who was found murdered a senseless shooting… No A child should ever face such a tragic fate. “We sympathize with the family and express our deepest condolences.”
