A 15-year-old girl was shot to death inside the South Sacramento home of a friend early Sunday after she apparently attended a party earlier in the night where a disturbance had occurred, the Sacramento Police Department reports.

The Sacramento County Coroner's office identified the homicide victim as Aliyia Smith of Sacramento.

Police reported that voices and the sound of gunfire were heard outside the home on Nedra Court near 24th Street shortly after the victim returned home. Police arrived at 1:21 a.m., and the Sacramento Fire Department declared the teenager dead at the scene.

Authorities released no information on a suspect.
