BIRMINGHAM, AL. (CNN) – A community is in shock after a spat between teens online ended in a deadly shooting in a park.

Detectives said a 14-year-old girl was killed and two other people were wounded. Police said it started about three weeks ago, after the girls had an argument on Facebook. They decided to meet up in Washington Avenue Park Friday night and fight.

Police said the boyfriend of one the girls shot and killed 14-year-old Kierra’onna Rice.

“She was a good person. She, she never had any trouble. She was never in anything. She was a good person. She liked to help people,” said friend, Diamond Davis.

Investigators said two other people were treated for gunshot wounds but are expected to recover. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old man and 19-year-old man are in police custody and are facing charges in connection to the shooting.
