Dead is Briana Rodgers, 13. Also injured in the shooting was Alonta Culpepper, whose age and condition was unavailable Monday morning.
"It's a tragic situation. I've lost a little cousin that hasn't even begun to live her life. And I have another cousin that's in the hospital fighting for her life. It's sickening. Sad and sickening," said a family member of the victims, who only wanted to be identified as Robin.
According to Dayton police, Wesley shot two people inside a house on Home Avenue. They found one victim dead, the other was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
"It is an absolute shame that you can't even have a teenager that is safe out here," said community activist, Rev. Jerome McCory.
