Police in Georgia say an 18-year-old girl was found dead at a Grayson house party last week, according to reports.
Gwinnett County Police Department reports the body of Shania Green was found early Friday morning at a house in the Grayson area. She appeared to have sustained a gunshot wound to the head area, police said.
According to Gwinnett County police, they received reports of a person shot at an area home just after 1 a.m. When they got to the house, officers cleared the residence and found Green’s body.
Responding officers said they found her body in the back patio area of the home.
Green’s aunt Sade Long said her niece was shot and killed by a stray bullet while she was at the house party.
Long said several shots were fired from outside of the house that evening, and Green was hit, ending her life.
Green had just turned 18 last November. Her family said she was enjoying being a new mother to her 7-month-old son.
“You could find her lovingly taking care of her 7-month-old son or spending time with family,” Long shared. “Shania was a wonderful daughter, mother, sister, granddaughter and niece. She touched the lives of everyone around her.”
A neighbor heard a series of gunshots that night and shared a cellphone video that showed dozens of young adults running out of the house.
The owner of the home was reportedly out of town at the time of the shooting.
Police have not immediately identified any suspects in Green’s death.
Gwinnett County police have urged anyone with further information to contact them at 770-513-5300.
