Officers arrived, they found out the teen had been shot in the leg and was driven to the hospital.
Channel 11 spoke with the teen's family members, who said she was standing outside of her home with a group when someone drove by and shot at them.
Family members said the shooting is very hard for them because they just lost a loved one to gun violence. The teen's brother, Tyrese Smith, was recently killed in another shooting at a graduation party in the Hill District in June.
