Jamila Rogers, 27, was shot and killed in Raleigh, North Carolina, on November 6, 2022, at about 1:30 a.m. The shooting took place on Bragg Street during an altercation involving several people. Family members say Rogers was a victim of domestic violence and was pushed, then shot as she turned back around. An aunt who witnessed the shooting said she hoped Rogers would survive; those hopes were not realized.

Rogers’ family describe her as a sweet and loving woman who leaves behind a sick mother who relied on her care. A memorial with candles spelling LLJ, for Long Live Jamila, was created in the 600 block of Bragg Street. The suspect has been identified as 44-year-old Stanley Lemont Johnson, who uses the alias Tadpole; he was last seen leaving the scene on foot and authorities released a mugshot while searching for him.

If anyone saw the incident on Bragg Street that night or has information about Johnson’s whereabouts, please come forward.
