The shooting happened at about 1 a.m. in the 13300 block of Northborough.
Khamaya and an 8-year-old boy were in a vehicle at a stop sign on Northborough and Rushcreek when they were caught in the crossfire, police said.
Witnesses told police that a silver, four-door sedan approached the intersection, and a man leaned out of the rear driver's side window and started shooting toward a food store.
Police said that soon after the shooting, the children's mother drove them to a nearby hospital where Khamaya was pronounced dead.
