DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- The 2-year-old girl shot and killed in Durham on June 20 has been identified as Manariah.

A GoFundMe has been set up by her family and friends to help cover costs of a funeral.

Manariah was one of three people shot on East Cornwallis Road.

"Our sweet 2 year old, with a smile that would light up the room, is now gone and all we have are the memories of our sweet little girl," the GoFundMe organizer wrote about Manariah.
