Police said a 9-year-old girl died after getting caught in a feud between two Dallas rappers whose dispute in “diss tracks” over social media spilled into the real world, as one of them opened fire into the wrong apartment, hitting the girl as she sat on the couch.

Brandoniya Bennett died in a hospital on Aug. 14, after police performed CPR on the girl before paramedics arrived and carried her out of the apartment building northeast of downtown Dallas.
