The victim, Ana Garza, was sleeping June 1 in the front room of her family's home in the 800 block of Pecan Valley when the suspects opened fire on the girl's stepfather and then into the home, police said. One of the bullets hit Ana in the head, and she died a few days later. Her stepfather was critically wounded.
