Angellyh Yambo was caught in the crossfire of a shooting that broke out at around 1:45 p.m. in the borough’s Woodstock neighborhood, NYPD sources confirm.

The shooting unfolded just blocks from University Prep Charter High School, where Yambo was a student.

The teen died after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest, the sources tell PEOPLE.

Two other victims, also on their way home from school, were injured during the gunfight and are expected to recover from their wounds.

Police sources confirm all three students were unintended targets.

Jeremiah Ryan.

Yambo will be laid to rest on Tuesday.

Jeremiah Ryan, 17, has been arrested on charges of murder, attempted murder, and criminal possession of a weapon, all stemming from his alleged role in Friday’s shooting, the sources tell PEOPLE.

Police recovered a ghost gun from the scene, sources confirm, meaning the weapon was not commercially manufactured and therefore rendered untraceable.

Late Friday, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell called Yambo “a young woman with a bright future.”

Yambo’s aunt, Margarita Yambo,told theNew York Postshe was a straight-A student with a “beautiful soul” who loved playing Fortnite.

Yanelli Henríquez, Yambo’s grieving mother, spoke to Telemundo 47over the weekend.

“I lost my life, I lost my daughter,” Henríquez said. “I have no words to say or even express to you what I’m feeling right now. I just can’t.”

It was unclear Monday if Ryan had entered pleas to the charges. Information on his attorney was unavailable.
