Rec center visit ends graduation dreams
She dreamed of graduation day: green caps flying through the air, smiling friends, and family watching from the bleachers. An ambassador of education at Huffman High School, she was smart, witty and an accomplished student.
One day after school, she decided to stop by the Inglenook Recreation Center with her family. A fight broke out between two women, eventually leading to guns being drawn.
Nyteria Sade’ Spigner, 17, was fatally shot in the head on April 24, 2018, in Birmingham, Alabama, the recipient of a bullet meant for someone else. She was the second student from her high school fatally shot in the span of two months.
