Sadly, A 15-year-old girl named Kayla Rincon-Miller was tragically shot and killed while leaving a movie theater with her friends in Cape Coral, Florida on March 17. A group of people in a silver Nissan Pathfinder approached them and attempted to rob them, per a press release from the police department in Cape Coral, reports PEOPLE. 

According to a statement from one of the girls, a shooter fired shots and tragically killed 15-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller by hitting her in the chest. The shooter escaped in the vehicle.

Before passing away, Rincon-Miller received medical attention at a nearby hospital but unfortunately couldn’t survive her injuries. She informed the police that she didn’t recognize the shooter’s identity, who had escaped in a vehicle. The other two girls also shared the same information with officials.

Lisa Greenberg, from the Police Department, announced at a press conference on March 20 that a 16-year-old boy was taken into custody on Tuesday night. He has been charged as an accomplice to murder during a robbery. Due to his status as a minor, his identity is being withheld by PEOPLE.

Greenberg mentioned at the press conference that the silver Nissan Pathfinder, which approached Rincon-Miller and her friends, was rented by the suspect’s mother. Greenberg did not provide many details about the investigation.

The underaged suspect was taken to Lee County Jail in the early morning hours on Wednesday; however, he was released from custody merely two hours later. He has been scheduled for a hearing in juvenile court on April 8.
