A teen mother was killed at a Georgia house party in November, just weeks after celebrating her birthday.

On Nov. 17, Shania Green, who turned 18 in October, attended a party at a residence in Gwinnett County. Officers arrived at the scene shortly after 1 a.m. following reports of a shooting, People reports.

They discovered Green on the back patio, dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

The party was hosted by the homeowners’ son while his parents were away, according to Atlanta News First. Neighbors reported seeing terrified teenagers fleeing the house after hearing gunshots.

No suspects have been identified, and detectives are appealing to the public for information.

Green left behind a 7-month-old boy. Her aunt, Sade Long, wrote that Green was a devoted young mother who loved caring for her son, and described Green’s infectious smile and positive energy that uplifted those around her.

Long has created a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral costs. There, she wrote that her niece had been excited to finally go out and enjoy herself after turning 18. The campaign is looking to raise $15,000; over $11,000 in donations have been collected thus far.

“On most days you could find her lovingly taking care of her 7 month old son or spending time with family,” Long wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Shania just turned 18 years old last month in November. She was just figuring out who she was as a young lady and as a new mother, navigating life with grace, compassion, and kindness.”
