Vanessa was shot three times, one in each arm and one in her chest while she was watching street takeovers at North Second street and North 22nd Avenue, Minneapolis. Vanessa and her cousins were in the front row watching street racing, burnouts and donuts by “Hot Rodders”.  A shooting broke out, and if you watch any videos online, a shooting always seems to breakout.  Vanessa and her cousins thought it was fireworks then realized it was gun shots.  They ran back to their vehicle and that’s when she told her cousins she was shot.  They rushed her to the hospital where she passed away.
