Aiesha Shantel Summers was 28 when she was shot and killed on August 12, 2019, at the Tryon Park at Rivergate apartment complex in Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers who responded to a reported shooting found Summers with gunshot wounds; the medical examiner later determined she was 24 weeks pregnant at the time of her death.

Investigators identified 35-year-old Edward Silk Garner as a suspect and charged him with Summers’ murder and the murder of her unborn child. Police described the shooting as the result of domestic violence. After the incident Garner fled, prompting an Amber Alert for two children believed to have been taken; the alert was canceled once the children were located safe but Garner remained at large.

On September 6, 2019, the Violent Criminal Apprehension Team and a K-9 unit located and arrested Garner without incident. Anyone with memories of Aiesha Summers or information about the case is asked to come forward.
