The teen girl struck in the head by a stray bullet during a Bronx park mass shooting has died after fighting for life for more than two weeks, her family confirms.
Anthonaya Campbell, 17, died at Jacobi Medical Center at 12:34 p.m. on Monday after her family made the heartrending choice to take her off life support. She had been declared brain-dead, her aunt said.
“I’ve been with the family since this happened,” Bishop Boyde Singletary said Wednesday. “The family is in an uproar. The family is very upset because that young lady was a breath of fresh air.”
Anthonaya was watching a basketball tournament at Haffen Park across the street from her family’s old apartment in Baychester when the shooting broke out at about 7:25 p.m.
