Monique Manley, a 29-year-old Black woman, was shot and killed on June 22, 2015, in Miami, Florida. The shooting happened around 11:30 PM outside an apartment complex at 1955 NW 2nd Court in the Overtown neighborhood. She was sitting on the back of a car talking with a friend when a vehicle with two people pulled up, the occupants got out and opened fire, striking her multiple times in the back. She was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead upon arrival.

Monique’s four children were inside the home when the shooting occurred and escaped through a back window to avoid witnessing the aftermath. Her death was one of several violent incidents in Miami-Dade County’s Commission District 3 that night, prompting local leaders to call for action. No arrests have been announced; the suspects remain unidentified and the motive is unknown. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Miami Police Department.
