Baytown Shooting: Teen Girl Killed, Boy in Custody

In Baytown, Texas, 14-year-old Anaya Zachary was fatally shot at a playground in an apartment complex on Village Lane, allegedly by a 13-year-old male classmate who is now in custody. The incident followed a dispute between the two students on a school bus earlier that day, and Anaya was shot four times before being taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Both individuals were reportedly students of the Goose Creek Independent School District, although their current status as such is unclear. Police are continuing the investigation and gathering evidence at the scene to understand the relationship between the victim and the suspect, as well as the nature of their earlier altercation. The community mourns the loss of Anaya, an honor roll student, as her family seeks answers about the incident.
