Briana Sanai Ware-Hall was an 18-year-old woman from Waukegan, Illinois, who was found fatally shot on July 12, 2023. She and 19-year-old Serenity Childs of North Chicago were discovered inside a vehicle in the rear parking lot of 2421 Washington Street in Waukegan after officers responded about 5:06 p.m. following reports of gunfire.

Investigators recovered several 9mm shell casings and a handgun at the scene with its slide locked to the rear, and canvassed for witnesses and surveillance footage. Police identified 18-year-old Jonathan Stinnette of Winthrop Harbor as a suspect; witnesses indicated the shooting was domestic-related and that Stinnette had a prior relationship with one of the victims. Stinnette and a 21-year-old Waukegan resident fled in a black Nissan and were later located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where Kenosha police took them into custody and Waukegan detectives conducted interviews.

Community leaders condemned the violence as the investigation continued. If anyone saw activity in the rear lot of 2421 Washington Street around 5 p.m. on July 12 or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
