HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- The girl shot in a West End neighborhood near a high school has died of her injuries, police said late Friday.
Henrico Police responded to a report of shooting in the 1900 block of Windingridge Drive, which parallels Pump Road, in the Gayton Forest West subdivision around 4:30 p.m.
"A teenage female was shot outside of a residence," Henrico Police spokesperson Lt. Matt Pecka said. "The female victim was treated and transported to an area hospital."
Police said officers are investigating the incident as a homicide after the girl succumbed to her injuries.
Suspect considered armed
Police described the suspect as a younger black male, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 125 pounds. He had shaggy hair with shaved sides.
Pecka said he was last seen wearing a two-toned hooded sweatshirt and a mask.
The suspect, who is considered armed, was "heading on foot," according to police.
Witness heard at least 5 shots
A witness told Crime Insider Jon Burkett two girls who were walking down a path behind Mills Godwin High School were followed closely by a guy wearing a hoodie.
"When they rounded the curve here behind me, that witness says he heard at least five shots and then they saw the guy walk off,"
Burkett said. "They thought it was strange, so they went over to investigate."
That is where the witness saw the girl lying in the driveway in front of an SUV, Burkett said.
"[The witness] ran up to help and give CPR and they did that until paramedics arrived here on scene," Burkett said.
In a home just yards from the crime scene, a neighbor also told CBS 6 she heard about five to eight shots.

Henrico County police on Saturday arrested a boy and charged him with second-degree murder in Friday afternoon’s shooting of a girl in a neighborhood near Godwin High School.
The victim was Lucia Bremer, an eighth-grader at Quioccasin Middle School. The school principal said Bremer “radiated happiness” and “was wise beyond her years.”
The suspect’s identity is being withheld because of his age.
“Henrico Police has the person in custody responsible for yesterday’s homicide,” the police department said in a news release about 3:15 p.m. Saturday. “During the early afternoon hours, Henrico detectives took a juvenile male into custody after obtaining petitions for second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by juvenile, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.”
