Lateisha Shunterria Stewart, a 32-year-old Black woman from Macon, Georgia, was found late on the night of September 25, 2021, slumped in the driver’s seat of a Hyundai Sonata in the driveway of a home on the 1500 block of Berkshire Drive. Deputies responded just before midnight after reports of an unresponsive person; Stewart had been shot in the upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene by Deputy Coroner Ronnie Miley.

Family and friends remembered Stewart as a mother and educator who wanted to open her own daycare. A balloon release held in her memory emphasized the warmth of her relationships and the plans cut short by the killing. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said investigators did not have suspect information, and local follow-up reporting noted no arrests had been made.

Who knew Lateisha or saw anything in the west Macon area that night that could help investigators?
