On the evening of July 6, 2024, a dispute at a gathering of minors in Highland Hollows Park in Aurora, Colorado, erupted into gunfire. Fourteen-year-old Kamiaya Keyera Cleveland, a Black female known as Miay Miay, was sitting in the backseat of a friend’s car when she was struck by a gunshot. She was taken to a local hospital and later died; the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a homicide by gunshot wound. Two other teenage girls, a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old, were injured in the same shooting.

Kamiaya was remembered by her family as a vibrant, creative child who loved to cook for loved ones, with chicken alfredo listed as a favorite to make. The Aurora Police Department opened a homicide investigation; on August 9, 2024, authorities arrested 17-year-old Jordyn Riley on an unrelated hold and charged her as an adult with multiple counts, including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and first-degree assault. Police said they are not actively seeking other suspects.

Does anyone have information about that night at Highland Hollows Park or knew Kamiaya and can help shed light on what happened?
