PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has announced charges against three individuals in the fatal shooting of 4-year-old Kastari "Star" Nunez in Northeast Philadelphia. 

The girl's father, Alhakim Nunez, and mother, Iris Rodriguez, have both been charged with involuntary manslaughter, endangering the welfare of a child, obstruction of justice and related charges in the child's death.

Authorities say Nunez, 29, was conducting a drug deal upstairs at the time of the shooting.

Another woman, identified as Ashley Gushue, is also facing multiple charges including tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice. Investigators say she was in the room with the child at the time of the shooting.

Kastari was taken by family members to Jefferson-Torresdale Hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen on Monday night, April 20. She succumbed to her injuries just minutes after arriving to the hospital.
