Keleasha Larry was a 3-year-old African American girl found shot to death on April 14, 2010, in her family home in Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood. She was discovered in the same bed as her 16-year-old sister Keyshai Fields, who was also pregnant and died in the attack. The shooting happened in the early morning hours; several other relatives in the house were hit — two family members, Leona Larry and Demond Larry, were critically wounded, and the uncle’s wife, Twanda Thompson, and a seven-month-old infant, Jihad Larry, were also killed.

Their uncle, James A. Larry (also written James Larry), was arrested shortly after the shootings and charged with opening fire in the family home. Charges reported include four counts of first-degree murder, two felony counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, and four counts of attempted murder. Reports described erratic behavior and the suspect saying voices told him to bring his family to Allah. Hundreds attended funeral services for Keleasha and Keyshai as the community mourned.
