A four-person family was killed in a Lanham, Maryland apartment above a detached garage in August 2010. On August 6, three-year-old Shayla Shante Sikyala was found dead alongside her four-year-old brother, Shakur Sylvester Sikyala, their 38-year-old mother, Dawn Yvette Brooks, and their 41-year-old aunt, Mwasiti Sikyala. All four victims had been fatally shot. The apartment was reported to be cluttered with trash and debris, a detail that initially complicated the scene.

Investigators described the motive as drug-related, tied to a dispute over a large quantity of missing marijuana. Two people from Texas, 43-year-old Darrell Lynn Bellard and 18-year-old Tkeisha Nicole Gilmer, were arrested and charged with four counts of first-degree murder; police said the suspects were known to the adult victims and that the killings were not random. Does anyone have information about the victims, the location, or contacts that could help clarify what happened?
