A 17-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons because he is a minor was also charged with murder, according to the statement.
An 18-year-old man from Leeds who was arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody, police said in the statement.
An 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl who were arrested on suspicion of murder have been released on bail.
On Wed., April 1, West Yorkshire Police appealed to the public for video footage of the incident.
“We believe this footage, which we understand may be being shared on Tiktok or Snapchat, will lead us to the truth about what happened in Kennerleigh Avenue in Austhorpe in the early hours of last Saturday,” said Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle in the statement.
As police continue to investigate, Dransfield’s family and friends are reeling from her shocking murder.
“My beautiful princess Chloe,” her mother said in a tribute released on Monday, March 30, the BBC reports. “I cannot put into words how I feel that you are not here with me. You are my life, my world, my best friend and I know that I am yours… I cannot live without you — I need you.”
Chloe’s father wrote, “We miss every single thing about her. She was beautiful, full of joy and had a wonderfully cheeky personality.
“Chloe was loved by everyone who knew her and the absence she leaves behind is immeasurable.
“We will miss her forever, she will never be forgotten. Love you always and forever.”
In a GoFundMe set up to defray funeral costs, the organizer wrote that her cousin “didn’t even make it to her 18th.”
