TaNya LaShay Williams was 16 when she was shot on December 20, 2015, while sitting in a car in the 1600 block of Vancouver Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina. Two other 16-year-old girls and a 26-year-old man were in the vehicle when an unknown suspect opened fire; TaNya was struck in the head and taken to Carolinas Medical Center.

TaNya fought for her life for nine months before dying of her injuries. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police investigated the shooting and on March 13, 2018, arrested 20-year-old Arshaun Springs on a charge of murder in connection with her death. Reports say the attack was targeted, though the motive has not been disclosed and police did not detail how Springs was linked to the killing.

TaNya’s family remembered her as a vibrant, loving young girl. Does anyone have information about TaNya, that night on Vancouver Drive, or the people involved?
