"She didn’t deserve this. She was an amazing dog,” the dog's owner exclusively tells PEOPLE

The owner of the dog that was shot on Monday, April 22, tells PEOPLE that her beloved pet has died.

Lisa Murena, tells PEOPLE exclusively that her "Pomsky" (Pomeranian and Husky mix) named Arya died Friday morning, April 26, a result of a stray bullet piercing her dog’s colon.

Murena tells PEOPLE on Friday that Arya was doing better, but "then the [vet] called [her] at like 1:30 this morning. And they tried to resuscitate her for 15 minutes, and it just wasn’t working.”

“The doctor just called me a little while ago and said she had a stroke,” Murena explains.

The dog was allegedly hit by a bullet shot by 18-year-old Joshua Marte Monday, per a NYPD statement shared with PEOPLE. Police were called to the scene at around 1:30 a.m. The stray bullet went through the animal owner’s window and hit the dog, Murena previously told PEOPLE.

On Tuesday, NYPD detectives arranged the surrender of Marte, reports PIX 11. According to authorities, Marte was charged with "Criminal Possession of Weapon- Loaded Firearm, Criminal Possession of a Weapon- Ammo Clip, Reckless Endangerment Aggravated Cruelty to Animals."

“She has no voice. I'm her voice,” Murena says of her late dog's tragic death. “I'm just gonna continue to fight for gun control [and] for animal cruelty, like justice needs to be served.”

Murena previously told PEOPLE that on Monday morning, her brother Sal "heard glass shatter around 1:00 in the morning,” adding that her family did not "hear any gunshots" but "heard the glass in my parents' bedroom shatter."

Then around 1:15 a.m., her brother then "heard Arya whimpering, and he found her on the couch... and she was crying, she was bleeding and shaking," shared Murena. She explained that she and her father, Al, then "immediately" rushed Arya to the vet around 1:30 a.m.

Upon arrival, the vet took x-rays, and “that's how [the Murenas] found that she got shot. They found the bullet in her.” She underwent surgery that morning, and by Wednesday she was walking again.

"She didn’t deserve this. She was an amazing dog,” says Murena. “She loved everybody. And I always told her, ‘Not everyone is your friend.’ ”

“I mean, it could have been anyone in my household. It could have been my seven-year-old niece,” Murena also previously shared with PEOPLE. “It could have been anyone. I don't know why illegal guns are still allowed on the streets. I have no idea.”
