The death of a 16-year-old girl, after reports of a shooting in northeast Edmonton on Sunday, has the community concerned. Police were called to a townhouse in the area of 139 Avenue and 32 Street shortly before 7 a.m. for reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers found a seriously injured 16-year-old girl. Officers administered first aid, but she was declared dead at the scene by EMS. “It’s very sad,” said Tania Dalueg, who lives in the townhouse complex. “I have a daughter of my own … If that was my daughter, I just can’t imagine what that poor girl’s parents must be going through.” Homicide detectives were back at the home Monday afternoon as they continued to investigate. They have not said whether they have any suspects or have made any arrests. Another neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said a mother and teenage daughter moved in about two months ago. Since then, there have been a string of late-night parties and people constantly coming and going. “I was very concerned,” said the neighbour. “I wasn’t sure whether to report this, but I figured the mother had it under control.” The girl who was killed did not live in the townhouse complex. Anyone with information about the death is asked to contact Edmonton police at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers.
