• Bronx woman files wrongful death suit in daughter's killing

Oct 3 (Reuters) - On her way home from school on a cloudy afternoon on April 8, 2022, 16-year-old Angellyh Yambo stepped out of Tony's Mini Market, her go-to corner bodega in New York City's Bronx borough, when shots rang out. A bullet passed through her upper back, piercing her lung and pulmonary artery, killing the girl, an innocent bystander during a shooting targeting other people.

Yambo, who like her mother Yanely Henriquez was a fan of crime dramas and true-crime documentaries, had dreamed of a career in forensics, helping to solve crimes. And yet the 9mm pistol that struck her down lacked the serial number present on most firearms, which can frustrate criminal investigations. It was, prosecutors said, a "ghost gun."
