After being shot, she was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where she later died.

After receiving the worst call of her life, Jermea’s mother, Ronetta Lyle, rushed to the hospital after learning her daughter had been shot.

“It was a devastating moment to have to go to the hospital and have a police officer put you in a different room so you can wait to talk to a doctor,” she said.
