Maame Adwoa Amuah was 25 when she was shot in the neck and died on May 6, 2021, in a high-rise condo near Northeast 1st Avenue and Northeast 6th Street in Miami. First responders found her mortally wounded about 1:20 a.m.; she was taken to Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition and died shortly after arrival.

Authorities say the shooting followed a confrontation with 24-year-old Haider Shaid Rana. Rana told police Amuah had been banging on his door around 1:00 a.m., then forced her way into his apartment while he was watching a movie with another woman; he said he shot her in self-defense. Rana was charged with second-degree murder and was arrested in November 2022; he has been held without bond. Defense attorneys have argued he fired in self-defense and described Amuah as the aggressor; the prosecution has charged second-degree murder and the case remains pending with no future hearings scheduled.

The shooting has been described in reports as the end of a tumultuous relationship; the two had reportedly been involved about a month and Rana characterized it as friends with benefits. Does anyone have additional information about Amuah’s final hours or about the condo building that could help clarify what happened?
