Cleveland police: 14-year-old girl fatally shot by 15-year-old boy during argument

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of 14-year-old Davionna Wright.

“She was a good girl,” Tiaisha Ogletree said.

Ogletree was the teen’s mother.

Instead of her wishing her daughter a successful school year, she’s planning her funeral.

Wright was murdered in a building near Archwood Avenue and Pearl Road in the city’s Brooklyn Centre neighborhood.

“She liked cats. She liked animals. She just wanted to be a teenager,” Ogletree said.

Police said Wright was arguing with a 15-year-old boy around midnight. The argument turned deadly seconds later. Investigators said he pulled out a gun and shot her in the head.

“We heard a pop. I heard a gunshot. I said, ‘What the hell is that?’ He comes running out my apartment,” Ogletree said. “When I went in there, my baby was gone.”

Wright’s mother said the two were friends who hung out together often. However, she says something seemed a bit off about the boy.

“He was too attached to her. He was a very, very, very jealous person,” Ogletree claimed.

Ogletree told 19 News her daughter had her whole future laid out. She said it’s not fair that someone ripped away from her.

“She was level-headed. She wanted to be a realtor. She wanted to do something with her life. She wanted to be better.”

Homicide detectives are continuing to investigate the shooting.

Police have identified the suspect. No charges have been filed at this time.
