Sheila Bear-Wallace, 58, was shot and killed on January 17, 2019, while walking her dog in McGowan Park in Cleveland. Investigators found no clear motive for the slaying.

A significant lead came when the firearm used in the killing was recovered during a police pursuit in April 2019 and matched to the murder by ballistics testing. DNA evidence on the weapon was reported to link it to DaJuan Evans, who was 18 at the time of the shooting and was already incarcerated on an unrelated robbery conviction when he was later indicted on charges including aggravated murder and felonious assault.

The shooting devastated Sheila’s family and the community. If anyone knew Sheila, was in McGowan Park that day, or has information about the events around January 17, 2019, please come forward.
