On the night of March 25, 2014, a home invasion on 8th Street in South Baltimore ended in a triple shooting. Twenty-one-year-old Johniece Sheppard was shot and killed; two other residents were wounded when several armed men forced their way into the house and began searching for drugs. According to the police account, the attackers held the occupants at gunpoint, and when the victims denied knowledge of any drugs they were shot multiple times.

Police identified 27-year-old Laser Womack as a primary suspect and said he and two accomplices, including one named Deshawn Richardson, entered the home. A witness later picked Womack from a photographic lineup, and he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. In February 2016 a jury convicted Womack of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder, but that conviction was later overturned because the court had not properly advised him of the nature of the charges.

Does anyone have information about the attack on 8th Street or knew Johniece Sheppard and can help fill in what happened that night?
