LaNesha LaSha Workman, 26, was shot and killed at her Ogden Avenue home in Warren, Ohio, on April 17, 2020. She was pregnant at the time; her unborn son, Major Workman, also died. Two of her young children were in the room when the shooting occurred. LaNesha worked for Minuteman Staffing Services and is survived by three sons, LaKing Henry Workman, Lorenzo Workman, and Prince Workman.
Prosecutors said Kemari James, 29, fired intending to hit Andre Haynes but missed and struck LaNesha. James was arrested weeks later by U.S. Marshals in Baltimore. At trial he was convicted on five counts, including two murder charges and the attempted murder of Haynes, and received a life sentence with parole eligibility after 32 years. The court heard that James had a prior record including aggravated burglary, felonious assault, and kidnapping. LaNesha’s mother, April Riggins, spoke at sentencing, urging that James remain behind bars.
Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall anything from Ogden Avenue on April 17, 2020, that could add clarity to what happened?
