KaMaih Emauri Johnson was a 15-year-old Black girl killed in Minneapolis on July 17, 2023. Police were called just before 1:30 a.m. to a residential area near Girard Avenue South and West 25 1/2 Street, not far from Lake of the Isles. First responders found KaMaih on the street with a life-threatening gunshot wound; she died at the scene. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide and listed the cause as a gunshot wound to the chest. Her father remembered her as charismatic and a leader who was about to start high school.

According to a female witness who was with KaMaih that night, the two had been riding with three juvenile males and arranged to meet 18-year-old Antonio L. Brooks Jr. KaMaih and the witness briefly got into Brooks’s SUV, where he allegedly threatened, I m going to shoot you all and I m gonna shoot this bitch up. The witness said she and KaMaih returned to their car; as it pulled away KaMaih was hanging out of an open rear window when a single gunshot struck her and she fell onto the pavement.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood that night or who knew KaMaih or the people involved have information to share?
