Seventeen-year-old Samiya A. Shelton-Tillman was one of three people killed during a domestic-related home invasion at a residence in the 100 block of Lee Lane in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The attack occurred on March 5, 2023, when police were called around 8:15 p.m.; four people were shot. Samiya and 40-year-old Cartez L. Daniels and 9-year-old Sanai Daniels were pronounced dead at the scene, while a 34-year-old woman survived. Two children, a 3-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy, were in the home but were not harmed.

Investigators arrested 17-year-old Byrion Montgomery, described by authorities as someone who had been dating Samiya. He was taken into custody about two hours after the attack, charged as an adult and later faced nine counts of first-degree murder plus additional counts including attempted first-degree murder, home invasion, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon; bond was set at $20 million and a not guilty plea was entered on March 7, 2023. Prosecutors say Cartez L. Daniels was both shot and stabbed and that gunfire struck Samiya and Sanai.

Neighbors and loved ones held a vigil outside the Lee Lane home in the days after the killings. If anyone has information about Samiya, Sanai or the events that night, please come forward.
