Myiesha Cannon was 16 and a rising sophomore at Sumner High School when she was shot and killed in the early hours of a Wednesday morning in June 2019 in the Greater Ville neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. She had slipped out of her house to visit her boyfriend next door and was at a neighbor’s home with some boys when gunfire erupted around 1:25 a.m. Her mother, Latrice Cannon, found Myiesha on a couch with a gunshot wound to the head; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Division investigated what was called a suspicious death. Myiesha loved animals and hoped to work with pets; her family says she would not have handled a gun.

Does anyone who lived in the Greater Ville area that night have information that could help investigators?
