A Saturday That Shattered Innocence in Factreton

by Emma Botha
December 10, 2025

A peaceful Saturday in Factreton shattered when a 14yearold girl, simply enjoying the sun, was tragically killed by stray bullets during a gang shootout. This senseless act, part of an escalating war between the Americans and Nice Times gangs over a stolen cocaine parcel, also wounded a neighbor. The community, heartbroken and enraged, is now transforming their grief into a powerful call for justice and a safer future, demanding action beyond tears to protect their children from this brutal cycle of violence.
