Police aren’t saying much about what happened. They have said the shooting does not appear to be random.

Details about a suspect or arrest have not been announced.

Meanwhile, Sunni’s family and friends are calling for swift justice. Family friends say she loved to smile and she was a happy little girl.

A family friend and community activist, Lashaun Tims, said she has a message for the shooter.

“I would say man up turn yourself in. It’s better for you because any killer needs help and I say killer because we’re talking about a baby,” Tims said. “Take the message to heart.  If you know something, you’ve got to say something.”
