Shalamar Venable, a 39-year-old African American woman, was fatally shot on May 21, 2018, at a bus stop on North Tryon Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. The shooting occurred around 4 a.m.; she was taken to Carolinas Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

According to the investigation, 23-year-old Santario Miller approached Venable at the bus stop, accused her of stealing from him, attempted to rob her and then shot her multiple times at close range. Miller fled into nearby woods after the shooting, prompting a manhunt by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department that ended with his apprehension after a standoff in Gastonia on June 29, 2018. He was charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Reports describe Venable’s death as related to domestic violence, and her family and community were left grieving. Does anyone have information about Venable’s routine or the bus stop area that could shed more light on what happened that morning?
