Five Years, No Answers: Miami Gardens Family Seeks Justice in 12-Year-Old's Death

The family of Tequila Forschee, a 12-year-old girl killed by a stray bullet at her grandmother's Miami Gardens home in 2013, gathered on what would have been her birthday to demand justice.

Tequila died Aug. 14, 2013, after bullets pierced through her grandmother's home from outside. Detectives initially believed the house was targeted by gunfire but that the bullets were not intended for the child.

More than five years later, the case remains unsolved.

Family, friends and members of the community gathered Monday at the Dr. Lester Brown Park, where a tribute for Tequila was left behind.

Tequila's father told NBC 6 that he remembers "everything" about the daughter he lost.

"It's a pain I don't wish on any parent," Glenn Forschee said.

Tequila's family believes someone in the community must have information. They urge anyone with answers to questions that have plagued them for years to step forward.

Anyone with information is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
