Teen Shot in Head at Party in the Bronx

Posted on Jun 21, 2011

A high school freshman was shot in the head at a party held on Valentine Avenue in the Bronx, on June 13^th about 11:30pm. She was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she was originally listed in critical condition, and was later transferred to the Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital's pediatric intensive-care unit

A witness at the party said Yvette Torres tried breaking up a fight between two men outside, getting in the middle of the men. It is unknown what the men were fighting about, but was said the fight began inside at the party and was taken outside to the street. Yvette's brother said the men were shooting guns into the air, and when Yvette confronted them, one shot her in the back of the head. The gunman is only vaguely described as a black man who left the scene after the shooting. He was wearing a blue hoodie at the time. A neighbor reported seeing the young girl bleeding on the ground afterward.
