Briana Ferguson, 29, was shot and killed during an armed robbery inside a South Shore apartment just after midnight on July 3, 2025. She and a 37-year-old woman were in a residence in the 7100 block of South Jeffery Boulevard when a man they knew produced a gun and demanded their belongings. In the struggle that followed the attacker opened fire, striking Briana in the neck; the other woman was wounded in the forearm and listed in good condition.

Officers processed the scene and investigators from Area One described the assailant as a known acquaintance who fled after the shooting. No arrests had been announced in the initial reports as detectives continued to review evidence and witness accounts. Briana’s name was added to local victim lists and memorial pages as the neighborhood reckoned with a robbery that turned fatal.

If anyone knew Briana or has information about who was present in that apartment on July 3, please share what you know with investigators.
