LOS ANGELES – Teen actress Tara Correa-McMullen, who portrayed a former gang member in the TV show “Judging Amy,” was shot to death amid gang violence, police said.
Authorities in Inglewood, a suburb south of Los Angeles, said the actress was shot several times as she stood outside an apartment complex Oct. 21. Two men with her were wounded.
Correa-McMullen’s parents, Devora Correa and Thomas McMullen, wrote in the eulogy that was read at the 16-year-old’s funeral on Friday that their daughter made friends with everyone, “whether they were a grip or a caterer.”
No suspects have been identified in the shooting, which is believed to be gang-related, police said.
