A five-year-old girl was among nine people fatally shot in a bloody Memorial Day weekend in Chicago.

According to reports, a Jeep Cherokee pulled up and shots were fired. Reign was killed, and a 24-year-old man was wounded. It is unclear who the target of the shooting was.

The girl’s mother told the Chicago Sun-Times that the family was leaving a family party at the time and the girl was in "the wrong place at the wrong time." She was on track to start kindergarten next school year and loved dancing and gymnastics, the outlet reports. 

"She brought life to our life, to outsiders’ lives, to everybody that met her. She was just a real sweet kid," Ware's mother, Raven Adams, told Fox 32.

Her family has appealed for those responsible to turn themselves in.

"We need the mayor, we need the aldermen, we need you guys to really step up and stop the violence," Ware’s grandmother said. 

"We need mothers and grandmothers and everybody to take accountability for where your kids are and what they’re doing, what guns they have. We need you to pay attention. Somebody has to do something."

"We need this to stop today. This just can't keep happening. We can't keep hurting each other." 

Ware’s mother has set up a GoFundMe to help cover the costs of her daughter’s funeral expenses.
