Gabbriana Boyster, 16, was allegedly struck in the head in a Hillsboro, Missouri, home Friday night \u2014 with her body not being found by her mom, Candy G\u2019Sell, until the following afternoon, KDSK reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI walked in the room and she was\u00a0laying\u00a0there\u2026 sitting up,\u201d the grieving mother told the outlet.<\/p>\n

G\u2019Sell immediately called 911, but by the time paramedics arrived, her daughter had already been dead for hours.<\/p>\n

Investigators with the Jefferson County Sheriff\u2019s Office said Boyster was shot Friday evening, and her body remained inside the home \u201cfor hours\u201d until her mother made the devastating discovery, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

Police did not disclose what led to the fatal shooting or who owned the weapon.<\/p>\n

Three boys were at Boyster\u2019s home at the time of the shooting, investigators suspect, and one has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, unlawful use of a weapon resulting in death, armed criminal action, and abandonment of a corpse.<\/p>\n

The two other juveniles were released from custody following charges of abandonment of a corpse.<\/p>\n

The identities of all three minors are being withheld by authorities due to their ages.<\/p>\n

G\u2019Sell said the three boys were friends with her daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not fair. My daughter was sweet and innocent and kind. And she loved her friends\u2026 for them, her friends, to just leave her\u2026\u201d the grief-stricken mother said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no relief. My baby is gone. What mother wants to bury their baby?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gabby, as she was known to loved ones, was an incoming junior at Hillsboro\u00a0High School\u00a0with dreams\u00a0of becoming an ultrasound technician after graduation.<\/p>\n

The district\u2019s superintendent, Dr. Jon Isaacson, released a statement Tuesday saying that \u201cOur hearts are with the student\u2019s family, friends, and everyone impacted by this unimaginable loss,\u201d KMOV reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile words cannot take away the pain of this tragedy, we want our students, staff, and families to know they are not alone. We are committed to providing support and care for everyone who is grieving during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Boyster, the youngest of three siblings, \u201cbrought warmth and laughter to those fortunate enough to know her,\u201d according to an online obituary.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough she could be quiet at first, once she opened up, her vibrant personality and gift for conversation quickly shined through,\u201d the obituary read.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer kind heart, playful spirit, and the joy she brought to others will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n
