Maria Ibañez died after an unidentified teenager climbed into her bedroom at night and shot her in the head
The mother of a 15-year-old girl killed by a young intruder who broke into her bedroom in the middle of the night shared a heartbreaking video of a "girls' day" with her daughter.
“We’re going shopping,” Lacy Ibañez, the mother of Maria Ibañez, says in footage of the pair that she posted to Facebook Wednesday.
“Girls' day!” adds Ibañez, as the mother-daughter duo both signal the peace sign.
She captioned their video: “My Baby Girl. A piece of my heart is gone forever. You were so perfect & beautiful. I’m so lost right now. My soul is broke.”
“MARIA BEVERLY IBAÑEZ I love you so much,” the devastated mom continued.
On Tuesday, Maria was allegedly shot and killed by an unidentified 15-year-old boy, according to the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office.
At around 1:30 a.m., the boy allegedly snuck into Maria’s room at her family’s Broken Arrow, Okla., home and shot her in the head.

Maria was transported to a hospital in critical condition, but subsequently succumbed to her injuries.
The teen suspect — a tribal member — was taken into custody, said authorities.
