A 15-year-old girl and her boyfriend have been charged with gunning down five of the girl’s family members in Illinois in a petty falling out over her education, according to her dad.
The girl — whose case is currently in juvenile court — and her boyfriend, Ja’ymier Davis, 16, were charged in what cops called the “targeted mass shooting” that also injured two others at three locations across East St. Louis on Sunday, according to prosecutors.
The five dead were relatives of the girl, including her 74-year-old grandma, her accused killer’s dad, Marcus May, 40, revealed.
