A 14-year-old Chicago girl was killed by another 14-year-old in a confrontation sparked by a fight over a love interest. Police say that the argument between the two high-school freshmen started on Facebook over a boy, and escalated due to comments on the social networking site. The victim Endia Martin was returning home from school on Monday afternoon when she encountered a group of girls including the unnamed suspect. A fight broke out, and as it got heated the suspect pulled out a gun from her waistband, firing it with the help of another girl. Martin was shot in the back, and was left for dead on the sidewalk. Martin's companion fled after sustaining a gunshot wound to her arm. Authorities believe that the gun had been stolen from a car, and was brought to the fight scene by someone who knew the suspect. The police also arrested a 17-year-old male who was said to have assisted in hiding the weapon. The suspect's 24-year-old uncle believed to be linked with the murder was also taken into custody.
