A TEENAGE girl was found dead inside a car in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant over the weekend.
Cops said they are investigating 17-year-old Veronica Lee Baker’s death as a homicide, according to WRAL.
She was apparently shot to death, the station reported
Reports say police were called a Bojangles fast-food restaurant near Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday night on reports of an unresponsive victim in the parking lot.
The teen was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Raleigh News & Observer.
On Monday, police released a 911 call where a man can be heard saying he sees a girl in a running car and she does not appear to be breathing.
“There’s a car with the doors wide open and there’s a girl who is unresponsive,” the caller said. “It doesn’t look like there’s breathing.”
The caller said he tried to shake the girl, but she was unresponsive.
WRAL reported that the teen was a graduate of Garner Magnet High School and was planning to start classes at Wake Technical Community College this week.
The teen’s friends and family have called for anyone with information about her death to go to police.
“She was 17! Found shot to death in her car at Bojangles on Jones Sausage Road in Raleigh, NC,” Lori Rexrode Rhew, who said she was a friend of Baker’s mom, wrote on Facebook.
“Someone knows something!! Do the right thing & make the anonymous call!”
