WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. — (WPXI) – A local mom is grieving the loss of her daughter who was killed over the weekend. Annalaya Wilkerson, 18, was found shot to death in a remote area of Washington County. Her 17-year-old friend was also shot. She was flown to a local hospital after the shooting on Saturday. Wilkerson’s mom who was at the hospital visiting, says while she can’t bring her daughter back, she can and will fight for justice. “State police showed up at my door and told me that my daughter was gone,” Wilkerson’s mom said. It’s unclear how Wilkerson and the 17-year-old victim got to the area. The two girls were best friends who met in the Ringgold School District. Neighbors close to Jolly School Road called 911 after they heard gunshots. Those neighbors reportedly ran to help the girls they found in the road. State police say they’re looking at surveillance video from all over Washington County to help figure out who is responsible for the shooting. The 17-year-old’s condition isn’t known.
