Ashley Ballard and Harry Mendoza were fatally shot Sunday evening. Police are still searching for the gunman.
Officials say Ashley Ballard, 18, was shot in the back. She was taken to Harlem Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
"I heard two people got shot. I want my community to realize we can make it, have love in our community. We don't need more shootings we don't need more crime we need mental health. We need a lot of mental health counselors to help us deal with our frustrations in our community that's what this is about," said Harlem resident David Grant.
