Cierra Danae Morris, 25, was fatally shot at her Youngstown, Ohio, home on West Judson Street on February 29, 2020, during what police described as a domestic dispute. Her father, Leroy Morris, also died after being shot while trying to protect her. Both were taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries.

The shooting began during an argument in the living room between Cierra and John Bruner III, identified as the father of Cierra’s daughter. Cierra’s mother, Donna Morris, heard the argument and the gunshots; she took the child to a bedroom and locked the door. Reports say Cierra was shot more than 17 times and managed to crawl to a stairwell before paramedics arrived.

The family remembers Cierra as a loving mother and daughter who enjoyed fashion, makeup, and time with her daughter Jordyn. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or memories of Cierra to share?
