Latasha Monique Finney, a 25-year-old African American woman, was shot and found dead on the ground outside an apartment building at 2862 Piedmont Circle in Winston-Salem on May 16, 2021. She was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, 33-year-old Steven Seward Jr., was also shot and taken to a hospital with injuries.

Investigators say Finney and the attacker, a juvenile, knew each other. The juvenile suspect was taken into custody and transported to a juvenile facility without bond; authorities have not disclosed his identity because of his age. Police are treating the shooting as an isolated incident. The killing was recorded as the 12th homicide in Winston-Salem in 2021, a noted increase from the same period in 2020.

If anyone knew Latasha, was present at 2862 Piedmont Circle on May 16, 2021, or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
