A family is mourning the loss of 17-year-old Shayma Roman, a high school basketball player killed by a stray bullet in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Police say a group was standing outside a building at 1225 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights on Wednesday night when two men walked up and started firing shots, CBS News reports. Roman’s older brother, Shakem, is still in shock after realizing he saw his sister for the last time minutes before the deadly shooting in front of their grandmother’s building.

The brother revealed that his older sister, 19, was present and saw Roman take her last breaths.

“My older sister, Tayma, was sitting outside. Shayma went outside to go talk to Tayma…and, that’s when it happened. She saw it happen,” he said.

Roman’s stepfather said the family was completely heartbroken and blindsided by the attack. They have no clue who would do this to the young basketball star.

“Ask God for strength. That’s all we can do right now,” he said.

The shooting happened just after 6 p.m., ABC 7 NY reports. The group was standing outside the building like they normally do, witnesses say, when two suspects came up and fired rounds.

After being shot in the face, Roman was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

“It was a gruesome scene, a body with blood,” one resident said. “Her sister was holding her. It was just a tragic scene.”
