Sierra Tikeshia Ashley Polson, a 29-year-old Black woman, was shot and killed on March 9, 2023, inside the Orange County home where she lived with family near Orlando. Deputies were dispatched after a shooting was reported shortly after 10:15 p.m.; Polson was found with a gunshot wound, taken to a hospital, and died from her injuries. Investigators said the shooting appeared connected to domestic violence and focused on Polson’s boyfriend, Keyvon Daley, who had been in a relationship with her for about six months.

According to the arrest affidavit, Polson and Daley spent much of the day together, left the house for about 20 minutes after 9 p.m., then returned and went into their bedroom around 10 p.m. A few minutes later Polson’s mother heard a loud bang and forced entry as Daley tried to stop her. She found Polson unresponsive with a gunshot wound and saw a black cable around Polson’s neck; she confronted Daley, noticed a small black handgun, and he fled. Daley was located and arrested on March 10 and charged with first-degree murder; reporting at the time said he was held without bond. Two earlier domestic-violence arrests involving Daley in November 2022 and January 2023 were noted but did not result in prosecutions.

Polson was described by her mother, Carlotta Brown, as free-spirited and caring; she was raising three children and working two jobs. Did anyone in the Orlando area know Sierra or have information about her last hours?
