First responders found Moye unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the neck.

Moye was hospitalized for more than two weeks until her death. School officials in Jefferson County said Moye lead the cheerleading team and won second place in the Miss Seventh Grade competition.

Classmates wore pink to honor her with a vigil earlier this month.

It's unclear if charges against Mincey will be upgraded. The sheriff's office did not give details on what led to the shooting.
