MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A family in mourning Monday night.

Jenell Harris wants to know why someone would shoot her child.

"All I know is my baby was shot and killed, the reason why..."

Fifteen-year-old Vianca Harris was found dead on a couch in the Valley Forge Apartments in Whitehaven.

The Grandview Middle School student slept over at a family member's apartment with a friend from school.

Documents News Channel 3 obtained late Monday night say a witness inside the apartment told officers Terry Turner grabbed a12 gauge shotgun from the closet, loaded it and fired a shot at the teenager's head.

Turner told police Harris was "playing with the gun so he was trying to take it the gun away from the victim when the gun fired."

"She was here visiting, and they don't understand how she came to visit someone and ended up dead," said Star Williams, the teen's aunt.

Turner's no stranger to crime having been arrested last year for having a dozen stolen ID's.

Turner's gender is reported differently with each arrest.

When Turner was arrested last year, authorities reported placing Turner with female inmates, and then realized that was a mistake and moved Turner with the male inmates.

"Just make y'all know everybody your kids with," said Harris.

Her daughter was also about five weeks pregnant according to police.

Her mother said much of this she just didn't know.

"I lost my baby girl. That's my baby, my baby. My baby was 15-years-old."
