Luana Sneed was 19 when she was shot and killed in Dayton, Ohio, on July 6, 2019. Her death was one of several shootings in the area that summer and was remembered at a Community Homicide Prayer Vigil attended by friends and family.

The investigation led to the arrest of 47-year-old Christopher Lee Daye of Trotwood. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter, tampering with evidence, and attempted tampering with evidence. Prosecutors said Sneed was shot at Daye’s home and her body was found there early in the morning after an anonymous 911 call; Daye later pleaded guilty to shooting and killing her.

Daye was sentenced on December 17, 2019, to terms that include a three-year firearm specification and additional time for tampering; the court imposed an aggregate prison term reported as 14 to 17 years and other counts totaling 11 to 16 and a half years. If anyone knew Luana or has information about her life or the events that night, please share what might help remember her.
