HOPEWELL, Va. — A teenager has pleaded guilty to the murder of an 8-year-old girl killed while riding her bicycle in Hopewell.
Brandon James Warner, 18, who lived in Hopewell at the time, will be sentenced in August on charges of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Warner is one of three people arrested in connection to the 2022 death of P’Aris Mi-Unique Moore.
Moore was riding her bike outside her aunt's Freeman Street home on Dec. 30, 2022, when she was killed in a drive-by shooting.
The trials for the other suspects, Jamari Antonio Taylor and Rayquan Latrel Harvell, are scheduled for later this year.
Moore, who was a third grade student at Harry E. James Elementary School, was remembered as a "precious angel" by officials with Hopewell Schools.
