Shaniyah Brown, 19, was shot and killed on June 23, 2020, in the Washington Park neighborhood of Chicago. She was with an 8-year-old niece and friends when their group encountered another group that included 19-year-old Sheldon Doll, his girlfriend, and others. According to authorities, the confrontation escalated and Sheldon Doll allegedly walked into the street and fired multiple shots, striking Shaniyah in the back. She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Cook County prosecutors charged Sheldon Doll with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, citing video footage and witness testimony. Doll was said to have fled to Iowa after the shooting and was later extradited to Cook County; he was being held without bail and had multiple court hearings pending. Reports say the dispute began between Doll’s girlfriend and his ex-girlfriend and had been escalating online before the groups met in person.

Does anyone have information about Shaniyah, the confrontation that day, or the people involved?
