The third grade student was leaving the school around 2:20 p.m. Thursday when she was struck by a speeding driver. She later died from her injuries.

The driver who struck Amirah has been identified as a 14-year-old. Police say the boy was behind the wheel of a stolen vehicle. He was arrested at his home Friday and charged as a juvenile with vehicular manslaughter.

Dozens gathered outside Steuart Hill on Saturday to remember Amirah.

"People will look at me like I'm crazy, but I'm a God-fearing man, so to let my daughter rest in peace, I will forgive him," Amirah's father, Leon Carter, said.

Her principal, Tanyaneka Lipscomb, described the nine-year-old as a star student, who always put the needs of others ahead of herself.

"She was an example of being a star. She persevered through challenges of others, her peers, she helped them," said Lipscomb.

Three others were hurt in the crash that killed Amirah. Two have been treated and released. A third person still remains in the hospital.
