Shaniece Wells, 23, of Youngstown, Ohio, was shot during an altercation at a home on East Boston Avenue on October 25, 2014. She had gone to the scene to help break up the fight and was not involved in the dispute. Shaniece was the only person shot and later died at St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center.

The investigation led to the arrest of 27-year-old Keith Sims of Youngstown. He was charged with murder, tried, and found guilty; in May 2016 he received a sentence of 18 years to life. Prosecutors said Shaniece was shot as she was walking away from the argument.

Her family and friends sought justice after her death; her mother, Latonya White, spoke publicly about her grief and said Sims showed no remorse during the trial. Does anyone have information about Shaniece, her last known movements that night, or the people present at the East Boston Avenue address?
