Lakendra Tillmon, 31, was shot and killed on August 2, 2018, while driving on Butler Avenue in Buffalo. She was in a pickup with her boyfriend, his son, and two of her own children when two men reportedly exited another vehicle and opened fire. Tillmon was struck, lost control of the truck, and it crashed into a tree. She was taken to Erie County Medical Center and pronounced dead that night; the other occupants were physically unharmed.

Tillmon was a mother of five; her children were ages 8 to 16 at the time and her sister Tanisha took on their care. The family has held memorials and publicly appealed for information, and her eldest daughter Nevaeh has spoken about the impact of her mother’s loss. The Buffalo Police Department continues to investigate but has not identified suspects or announced arrests. Anyone with information is asked to contact the department’s confidential tip line at 847-2255.

Are there readers who remember seeing anything on Butler Avenue that afternoon or who can add details that might help the investigation?
