Prosecutors on Wednesday charged a gang member with the murder of 6-year-old Tiana Ricks, who was gunned down at a relative's home in Moreno Valley this month, authorities said.

Keandre Narkie Johnson, 21, was charged with murder, attempted murder and participation in a criminal street gang, according to a Riverside County District Attorney's office statement. The charges also carry special-circumstance allegations, which would lengthen his sentence if he is found guilty.

Riverside County sheriff's deputies arrested Johnson in Hemet about 4 p.m. Monday. Numerous tips came in after the shooting, leading detectives to Johnson, according to the statement.

On Sept. 7, Tiana Ricks was with her father, Tyrell Ricks, at a family celebration for a cousin who was going away to college. They went into their relative's open garage, where people were gathered, when two men stormed up the driveway and opened fire into the crowd.
