Detroit teen Kaliyah Embery killed in drive-by shooting

A 16-year-old girl, identified as Kaliyah Embery, was killed following a drive-by shooting on Chalmers Street between Mack and Warren Avenues in Detroit. The incident occurred on a Tuesday night, leaving the teenager with multiple gunshot wounds; she later died at a hospital.

Embery’s 19-year-old brother was also injured during the gunfire but is expected to recover. The victim's family expressed confusion regarding the motive, noting that the shooting occurred near their home. The family recently experienced significant loss, as Embery had traveled from Louisiana to Detroit following her sister's death in a car accident in August.

A $5,000 reward has been announced for information leading to an arrest. Local organization ‘Cease Fire’ has been canvassing the neighborhood to provide resources to those affected. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
