Sharmin M. McAllister, 33, was shot and killed in Chesapeake, Ohio. The shooting happened on December 11, 2022, at her apartment complex; she was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lawrence County Coroner’s Office on December 18, 2022. Neighbors say an argument about a dog with the adjacent resident, Dashawn L. Evans, escalated; witnesses and the Sheriff’s Office report the argument was the immediate cause of the shooting. Evans reportedly produced a handgun and shot McAllister in the upper torso, then fled in a gray Nissan SUV.

Law enforcement tracked Evans to a hotel in Ashland, Kentucky, and he was arrested there without incident on a first-degree murder warrant. He was charged with aggravated murder, murder with a firearm specification, tampering with evidence, and possession and trafficking of fentanyl-related compounds, held in the Lawrence County Jail on $50,000 bond, and the case was transferred to Lawrence County Common Pleas Court for presentation to the grand jury. Reports say there had been ongoing tension between the neighbors prior to the shooting.

Did anyone in Chesapeake know McAllister or have information about the tensions between her and the neighbor?
