Nine-year-old Jamyla Bolden was doing homework on her mother’s bed in their Ferguson, Missouri, home on the evening of August 18, 2015, when gunfire erupted outside. Bullets came through the house, striking Jamyla and her 34-year-old mother, Kendric Henderson. Jamyla died of a single gunshot wound; her mother survived after being shot in the leg.

Investigators identified 21-year-old De’Eris Brown as the shooter after a witness picked him out and an informant said Brown had admitted the shooting. Brown was arrested about a week later with assistance from U.S. Marshals and confessed to firing into the residence. Authorities say Jamyla was not the intended target; the prosecutor said Brown believed someone in that house had stolen from him. He faced second-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, and was held on a $750,000 cash-only bond.

If anyone knew Jamyla or has information about that night, please share what you know with the discussion.
