Child ‘fought for her life’ for three days after being shot. Two men now face ******* charges

PROVIDENCE – Footage from the ********* that fatally injured 7-year-old Ny’eil Pires shows two men opening ***** on the girl and her family, according to a prosecutor.

Ny’eil Pires “fought for her life” at the hospital for more than three days before she ***** on Monday, Special Assistant Attorney General Alison Bittl said Tuesday when the two men appeared in District Court, Providence.

Shaheem Nathaniel and Ahmari Cabrera, who were arrested on Friday, face ******* charges.

Nathaniel and Ahmari are accused of carrying out the ********* on Florence Street in an attempt to ***** Ny’eil’s father, Nelson Pires.

Ny’eil was with her family, and she was sitting in the rear seat of a Honda sedan when the two men opened ***** on the car Thursday evening, Bittle told Judge Stephen M. Isherwood.

Images and video from cameras near the ********* scene show both Nathaniel and Ahmari climbing out of a nearby vehicle, ********* at the Pires family and then riding away, Bittl said.

Ny’eil’s father flagged down officers when they went to the scene at 35 Florence St. at about 7:30 p.m. Friday night, Bittl said.

The investigation, which was aided by license-plate reading cameras, drew investigators to Nathaniel and Ahmari and led to the seizure of two ghost guns, Bittl said.

The handguns, a 9 mm and a .45-caliber, were both ghost guns, and they “matched the ballistics on the scene,” she said.

Isherwood ordered Nathaniel and Cabrera held without bail.
