In June 2020, 23-year-old Shiand Miller of Baltimore and her three-year-old daughter, Shaniya Gilmore, were found shot to death inside Miller’s car in the 200 block of Boswell Road in Southwest Baltimore. Miller was eight months pregnant; family members said the unborn baby was also killed. Family remembered Miller as someone who wanted to be a hairstylist and described Shaniya as a playful child who always smiled.

Authorities identified 24-year-old Devon Sample as Miller’s boyfriend and the father of her unborn child and took him into custody soon after the bodies were discovered. Family members reported there had been arguments between Miller and Sample before the incident. Investigators say video from a nearby home captured what appeared to be muzzle flashes from inside and at the driver’s side of the car.

Sample was charged with multiple offenses, including three counts of first-degree murder, use of a firearm in a violent crime, and a crime of violence against a pregnant woman; he was held without bail. Does anyone have information about Miller, Shaniya, or the events that night that could help fill in what happened?
