Jamia Uniece Singleton was 20 when she was shot in the face on Glenwood Avenue in Syracuse on October 28, 2017. She survived for a month after the shooting but died of her injuries on November 29, 2017. At the time of her death she was four months pregnant.

Authorities later named a suspect; on May 3, 2018 Jheezzmearr Thompson was indicted on a manslaughter charge alleging responsibility for the shooting that killed Jamia. She is survived by two children, Shaheem J. Grant and Prince A. Rucker, and by her parents, Lester D. and Joanne Singleton, plus siblings.

The case underscored gun violence’s impact on the Syracuse community and on the family left behind. If anyone knew Jamia, saw activity on Glenwood Avenue that day, or has information relevant to the case, please come forward.
