Shooting after prom kills 1 and injures 3 in south Georgia town
FITZGERALD, Ga. (AP) — A 15-year-old cheerleader was killed and three other people were injured in a shooting at a party after a high school prom in south Georgia, according to police.
A 17-year-old male has been charged with murder in the shooting early Saturday in Fitzgerald, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. Fitzgerald is about 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Macon.
Chyell Park was pronounced dead at a local hospital. She was a freshman, Irwin County High School Principal Jared Luke told WALB-TV.
“I’m just numb. I can’t even wrap my head around it,” Chelsie King, Chyell’s mom, said. “She was 15 with a full life ahead of her.”
Channen Brown, 17, was arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and charged with felony murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and possessing a gun while committing a felony. Under Georgia criminal law, 17-year-olds are charged as adults. A court clerk on Monday said there was no record of Brown appearing before a judge or having a lawyer representing him.
