GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - A teen who was shot and wounded last week near the Mississippi coast has died from her injuries.
Gulfport Police Sgt. James Griffin told news outlets that 16-year-old Imani Rogers died Wednesday from the injuries suffered when she was shot in the head March 8.
A 17-year-old male was originally charged with aggravated assault. Griffin said those charges will be upgraded to manslaughter.
Griffin said investigators think the suspect acted recklessly when he fired a gun in the home where Rogers was wounded.
Three other teens have been charged with hindering the investigation.
