Police have identified the 17-year-old girl fatally shot Thursday night at Shmerea Nailor, a student who had been attending Burgard High School.
The shooting happened in front of a church at the intersection of Riverside and Ontario last Thursday night.
On Friday, 2 On Your Side met friends and family in mourning over the loss of a young woman they say was taken too soon.
"She was a good kid, and it happened to the wrong person," a friend said.
At Burgard, friends say she played basketball.
Buffalo Interim Superintendent Donald Ogilvie said, "As a school community, we will do all that we can to comfort those students and staff who are most affected by this tragic end to a young life."
Recently, though, friends also say Nailor had been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
"There are gangs or groups that assemble," said longtime resident James Vossler. "The police up and tell them to move on, and they move on, but they usually come back."
Vossler is the treasurer of St. Mark's & All Saints' Episcopal Church and involved in community groups that aim to improve the neighborhood.
It was the sidewalk in front of that church police say Nailor may have been walking on when she was shot.
"A lot of the violence we've seen has been girls fighting with girls, which is a whole to wrinkle to what we've always thought of as being the problem," said Vossler.
Regardless of the reason behind the crime, Nailor was someone's daughter, someone's niece, and someone's friend.
That's why a small group showed up where Nailor was shot to set up a memorial with roses, a teddy bear, and candles. They also said a prayer.
This shooting is still under investigation, so with information should still call or text the Confidential TIPCALL Line at 847-2255.
