A 14-year-old girl was tragically and senselessly murdered on Saturday in Queens, after an unidentified shooter emptied 10 shots at an idling Q6 bus.
Daja Robinson was simply sitting in her seat when her bus was barraged by bullets, one bursting through a window and hitting her in the head. Robinson was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, but it was simply too late.
The bus was cordoned off by NYPD and investigated for ballistic evidence, as it remained on the corner throughout the night.
Witnesses say they saw a group of teens following Robinson before she got on the bus, right before shots were fired at the bus. Jamaica resident Jamaal Jefferson knew the teen girl, telling the NY Daily News, "She was sweet. She was young...she was going to school, living her life. It's just a tragedy."
Neighborhood resident Christopher McIlwain had maybe the most appropriate response to the tragedy out of anyone. He told reporters, "It's outrageous. First of all, it was a young girl. Secondly, it was useless. A life wasted for what?"
