Pittsburgh Police are still on the hunt for the suspects responsible for the shooting death of a 4-year-old girl, Kaari Thompson.
The shootings happened Thursday night in Lincoln Lemington, and the four-year-old girl's mother was shot and is in critical condition.
In a speech addressing gun violence Friday night, Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey thanked the community for stepping forward with tips in the past and asked them to come forward with information about Kaari's death.
"We need to put the guns down, we need to value these lives so that a 4-year-old doesn't get shot again."
He pleaded with people to stop picking up guns to solve problems, "We can't afford to have people that have no value for our children on our streets."
Gainey said everyone, government, police, neighborhoods, community leaders, faith-based leaders and parents, is needed to stop the violence.
"If you know anything about the child, the 4-year-old that was killed, anything, please let us know. We don't want this type of person on our streets."
Kaari's death is the 67th homicide in Pittsburgh this year.
At least 14 of those were children under the age of 18, all to gun violence.
