Naisha McMillian was 23 when she was shot and killed on October 6, 2018, in Durham, North Carolina. The killing happened just feet from her front door on Ridgeway Avenue; she was struck twice in the head from behind while walking up the steps to her home. Her mother, Matrona Snipe, was inside at the time and did not hear the gunshots.

Authorities arrested 44-year-old neighbor Thomas Keith Moore after the investigation; reports say he had previously gotten into a fight with Naisha. Moore was charged with her murder, initially fled but later turned himself in, and is being held in the Durham County Jail without bond. The community held vigils and added Naisha’s name to a memorial quilt, with volunteers from the Religious Coalition for a Non-Violent Durham helping to organize events in her memory.

If anyone knew Naisha or has information about what happened that night on Ridgeway Avenue, please come forward to help her family and investigators.
