"She was just really happy to be there," said Lopez-Murguia. "We did not expect the day to end like this."

Two juveniles were charged in connection with the deadly shooting. The unidentified suspects are being detained on gun-related and resisting arrest charges, according to a Jackson County family court statement released on Friday.
