Rae’venna Faircloth-Thomas, a 24-year-old African American woman from Youngstown, Ohio, was found shot to death in an SUV on Oneta Avenue on the city’s West Side on June 23, 2017. The Mahoning County Coroner’s Office confirmed her identity and cause of death.

The investigation led to the arrest of Dashonti Baker, who was later found guilty of her murder and of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Prosecutors said the killing was not premeditated but arose from a property dispute between Baker and Rae’venna. Barraya Hickson, a co-defendant, pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice; a distinctive car tied to the crime was recovered at Hickson’s residence.

Family members attended court and held an impromptu praise and worship in the courthouse waiting area after the verdict. Rae’venna’s mother, Virginia Faircloth, said that while the verdict brought a measure of justice it could not bring her daughter back.

If anyone knew Rae’venna or has information about the events leading up to June 23, 2017, please come forward.
