15-year old Kentucky girl shot in back and killed

Tysha Spearman, age 15

15-year old Tysha Spearman was at a party in Louisville, Kentucky, with an adult family friend when she was shot in the back and left to die in an alley.  She was taken to a hospital but died an hour later.  One account suggests she had been in an argument with two teen boys.

From an article and news video:

"She was my everything. My house isn't going to be right. My kids aren't going to be right because of this. Look what you done to me," said [Tysha's mother, Robin] Spearman. "Turn yourself in. That's going to be best for you." 

According to community leaders, Tysha was not carrying any weapons when she was shot. 

Family members described her as a caretaker, someone who was always making sure her four brothers and sisters were OK. 

Tysha was a junior at Shawnee High School. 

On Tuesday evening, police arrested 21-year-Antonio McFarland in connection with Tysha Spearman's death.
