A teenage mother was killed by a stray bullet at a Georgia house party just a month after her 18th birthday — on her first night out since giving birth.
Shania Green was found dead on the back patio of a Grayson home after police cleared a party while investigating a report of a shooting at 1 a.m. Friday, WANF reported.
He suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head, Gwinnett County Police said.
“Shania just turned 18” — and has focused on “lovingly caring for her 7-month-old son,” her aunt Sadie Long wrote in an online fundraiser.
“As a new mother, Shania was excited to finally be able to go out and hang out for a bit,” she said of the teenage mother’s first night out.
“While enjoying a night out at a house party, several shots were fired from outside the house hitting Shania from inside the house and taking her life,” he wrote.

“Shania was a wonderful daughter, mother, sister, granddaughter and niece who touched the lives of everyone around her. He is known for his beautiful infectious smile and laugh,” Long wrote.
“She’s just thinking about who she is as a young woman and as a new mother, navigating life with grace, compassion and kindness,” she added. “His shining personality and respectful demeanor have left many people hurting and mourning for such a wonderful soul.”

Neighbors told WANF that they heard gunshots erupt around 1 a.m.
“When I looked out the window, I saw a bunch of kids trying to get into their car and leave the little lot,” the neighbor told the outlet on condition of anonymity.
