Jasmine Alycia Cannady, 22, a Black/African American non-binary person from Ambridge, Pennsylvania, was shot to death on February 22, 2021, inside a home in the 900 block of Maplewood Avenue. Police were called about 1:30 p.m.; officers arriving at the scene found Jasmine and their 16-year-old sibling, Jeffrey JJ Bright, dead from gunshot wounds. Authorities described the scene as gruesome and said both victims had been shot in the head.

The person arrested in the case was the children’s mother, Krisinda Ann Bright, 48 at the time. Investigators said Bright was believed to have called 911 herself after the shootings and was at or near the home when officers took her into custody. Early reports left motive unclear, though later accounts attributed statements to Bright about shooting one child in bed and then shooting the other.

Jasmine and Jeffrey were remembered by friends and advocacy groups as LGBTQ; Jeffrey was often described as a transgender boy and Jasmine was identified as non-binary. The killings stunned the Ambridge community. If anyone knew Jasmine, Jeffrey, their routines, or has information about what happened that day, please come forward.
