Updates in the shooting death of Dillard High Student Amanda Collette.
The suspect has been named and she is 15-year-old Teah Wimberly. She has been charged with first-degree murder.
After the shooting Wimberly walked across the street to a restaurant and told police she had just shot her friend. Also, a witness stated he saw the pair arguing when Wimberly pulled out a gun and shot Amanda.
Wimberly is being held for 21 days to undergo a psych eval.
Most of the reports say that prosecutors are leaning towards charging Wimberly as an adult.
The motive behind the attack may have been a falling out between the two. Wimberly allegedly brought the gun to school so Amanda would know what it’s like “to feel pain”.
