When he returned, police said, he shot the girl he was fighting with, but the bullet struck an 11-year-old boy who was in the parking lot as a bystander.
The boy, identified as D’evan McFall, was taken to an area hospital where he died, KDFW reported.
The girl who fired the gun fled the scene and was caught a little later in a different apartment complex and taken into custody.
