Alayshia Cartiana Powe was 17 when she was shot and killed on July 5, 2019, on Jacksonville’s Westside. She was found with a fatal gunshot wound around 1 p.m. in the 9500 block of Watershed Drive South; the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office discovered her body at the scene. An upcoming senior at Ed White High School, she worked at McDonald’s and had plans to attend college and study law.

The investigation identified 17-year-old Tremayne Robinson as the person who shot Alayshia; he was arrested and charged as an adult. He was later convicted of manslaughter and received a 15-year sentence plus five years for evidence tampering, to run concurrently. Alayshia’s mother, Letitia Strickland, publicly criticized the punishment as insufficient and spoke about the family’s ongoing pain.

Does anyone who knew Alayshia or was in that neighborhood in July 2019 have further information to share?
