Slaying of 12-year-old girl shocks Brooklyn neighborhood
In Cypress Hills a 12-year-old girl known as Sugar Laykama Taylor was shot in the back while playing on a Sunday. A resident urged National Guard deployment to New York war zones, saying residents feel ignored amid the tragedy and violence. The Daily News notes the killing may have stemmed from a family squabble rather than a targetted shot, with relatives dragged into the dispute. Another 12-year-old girl was wounded Friday in Harlem playground violence.
