A “cheerful” 10-year-old girl unfortunately passed away in another region of Brazil after being shot in a drive-by while playing on the street.
The child was playing with friends on a busy street in Sao Joao de Meriti when she was hit in the chest by a stray gunshot.
Witnesses said that Rafaelly’s mother yelled “my daughter!” as she hurried out of her home right away and picked Rafaelly up in her arms.
According to Civil Police, locals claimed the gunfire came from a passing automobile.
Rafaelly was transported to a nearby medical room while still alive, but she shortly suffered a heart arrest.
