Parents Plead For Answers After Deadly Shooting of Young NW Miami-Dade Girl Last Month

Nearly three weeks have passed since 8-year-old Jada Page was shot in the head in a Northwest Miami-Dade drive-by shooting.

Her parents were at Miami-Dade Police headquarters Thursday asking for tips - in a case that grows colder every day.

"The guy jumped out and opened fire," said her father, James Page. "The only thing could think of is my kids were outside."

James Page was also shot that day in the area of NW 101st Street and 25th Avenue. Investigators say he was the intended target.

"Looking at the rest of my kids, we got no answers for them," he said. "The only thing we could tell them is she is in heaven. Two of them understand, the other two don't."

Jada died in the hospital a few days after the shooting. Hundreds rallied for justice in her name while also sending a message that these senseless killings must stop.

"Give us some sort of peace of mind, you know," said her mother, Rosalind Brown.  "They say 'Justice for Jada', at least if not for us, for her."

The best lead police have made public in this case is that there were at least two suspects involved, who drove off in a black Ford Fusion. There's a $25,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
