She was 22 when she was shot near the Garfield underpass and died three days later. Shemilah Lala Sanders was found with a gunshot wound to her neck on June 6, 2020, in Decatur, Illinois, and succumbed to her injuries on June 9, 2020, the Macon County coroner confirmed.

Witnesses described a physical dispute near the underpass. Lavanski Folks reportedly brandished a handgun and fired one round that did not initially discharge; a car then arrived with Paul Folks, who allegedly struck a woman with a liquor bottle, returned with two guns from a nearby home, and began firing at the crowd. Shemilah was struck in the back of the head near her neck as she tried to flee. Paul Folks was convicted of first-degree murder; the jury found he personally discharged a firearm causing her death, and he was sentenced to 55 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections plus three years mandatory supervised release. Lavanski Folks pleaded guilty to aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and received 24 months probation.
