Shanise Myers was a 5-year-old girl found among four people killed inside a basement apartment on Second Avenue in the Lansingburgh section of Troy, New York. Investigators say the attack occurred the night of December 21, 2017, behind the family’s closed apartment door; relatives became alarmed when calls and messages went unanswered and a property manager checked the unit on December 26, discovering Shanise, her mother Shanta Myers, her brother Jeremiah JJ Myers, and Brandi Mells dead. Early reports described the victims as bound with cut throats, and police called the incident a targeted, knife-attack massacre that left the neighborhood reeling after Christmas.

Authorities arrested Justin C. Mann and James W. White and prosecutors later charged both with murder in the four deaths; a grand jury returned indictments against them.

Did anyone in Troy have contact with the family in the days before the attack or notice anything unusual at the Second Avenue building?
