Parasha M. Beard, a 19-year-old African American woman, was shot and killed in Chicago on September 18, 2016, while sitting in a parked car. She was six months pregnant; someone in a passing vehicle opened fire and struck her in the head. Parasha died shortly after the shooting. Her unborn child, delivered prematurely and named A’Miracle Jones, initially survived but died five months later from complications related to the premature birth. The Cook County medical examiner ruled both deaths homicides.

The shooter reportedly had dreadlocks and fled in the vehicle used in the drive-by. No arrests have been announced. Parasha’s mother, Crystal Jones, has spoken publicly about the family’s grief and called for an end to gun violence. Only a limited number of factual details are available about the incident and its aftermath.

Did anyone in the Chicago area have information about Parasha, the vehicle involved, or the person who fled the scene?
