Fletcher allegedly got caught up in a gunfight between two groups as she was beginning to welcome pupils to the park. The charged adolescent was a part of one of the groups.
Apparently shot on both sides of her body, Fletcher ran for assistance to a nearby business. She was taken to the hospital urgently, where she died one hour later.
According to FOX 29, a detective located a 9mm ghost gun with a cartridge in the chamber and another round in the magazine in a garbage can on Perry Street.
In a tweet describing the unfortunate incident, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation sent its sympathies to Fletcher’s family, friends, and coworkers.
