5-Year-Old Girl 'Full of Love & Laughter' Shot to Death In Houston. She Was Going To Have Ice Cream With Mom.

Officers in Houston are looking for the gunmen responsible for killing a 5-year-old girl during a drive-by shooting at an intersection in the Greenspoint area over the weekend. The incident took place on Sunday at 1 am when 5-year-old Khamaya Dior Donelson was with her mother and brother in a vehicle. The young girl's mother Kristena Watters was at a stop sign when another vehicle pulled up alongside it. She had picked up her children from daycare and wanted to take them out for ice cream, reports FOX 26. 

Witnesses claim to see a silver, four-door sedan approach the intersection at Northborough Drive and Rushcreek Drive. It is believed that someone in the backseat started shooting toward a food store. Multiple shots were fired that struck Khamaya and her 8-year-old brother, both of whom were in the backseat. They were rushed to the hospital where Khamaya was pronounced dead. Her brother was shot in the arm and survived. Police are unclear whether the victims were the intended target.

"My daughter was 5, and she was shot in her face, shot in her face, she wasn't just killed she was brutally murdered," an emotional Kristena Watters said at a press conference. "My baby was gone before they even had a chance to try and save her, and there are so many people that were at that store and so many people that will not come forward. My baby didn't deserve this. For my baby [boy] to say it should have been him…it shouldn't have been us or any of the other families. We didn't deserve this." 

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help the family cover funeral costs for the five-year-old. It said: 5 year old Khamaya was riding in the car with her mother and brother when she was struck by stray bullets entering the vehicle. This tragic loss has left family and friends devastated and confused. She was such a precious child full of love and laughter.
