Overview
- Authorities say the teen, identified by family as 16-year-old Gabbriana “Gabby” Boyster, was shot Friday evening and her mother found her dead inside the family home the following afternoon.
- One juvenile has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, unlawful use of a weapon resulting in death, armed criminal action, and abandonment of a corpse.
- Two other juveniles were charged with abandonment of a corpse and were later released from custody; all three suspects’ names are withheld because they are underage.
- Investigators have not released a motive or said who fired the shot and they are still probing where the weapon came from and the full sequence of events.
- The Hillsboro community and school district are grieving, the family has set up memorials, and the case could lead to further juvenile-court decisions or transfers depending on the ongoing probe.
