On the evening of July 18, 2014, 11-year-old Shamiya Adams was at a friend’s apartment in West Garfield Park for a sleepover. While the girls sat on a bedroom floor getting ready to make s’mores, a gunshot fired from outside slipped through a slightly opened window, pierced a wall and a closet, and struck Shamiya in the head. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and died the next morning, July 19, 2014.

Neighbors held vigils and city leaders joined mourners as the community grieved a fifth grader nicknamed Queen. Police announced an arrest within a week; on July 24, 2014, prosecutors charged 18-year-old Tevin Lee with first-degree murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm, alleging he fired in retaliation for an earlier beating and aimed at rival gang members. Lee was held without bail. At trial, Lee admitted lying to police about being at the scene and pointed to a close friend known as Boo Man as the possible triggerman. On October 30, 2019, a Cook County jury acquitted Lee of the charges, leaving no convicted shooter.

Does anyone have information about the person who fired the shots that night or knew Shamiya and her circle?
