On May 13, 2024, at about 5:45 p.m., 19-year-old Tyemeshia Renee Miller was fatally shot near North 4th and Woodbine Streets in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Multiple gunshots were fired into a crowd that included adults and children; Miller, who was five months pregnant with a baby boy, was struck in the back and later died at a local hospital. The Dauphin County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a homicide and determined the unborn child died from asphyxia due to maternal death, also classed as a homicide.

Police said officers were nearby and arrived within 30 seconds, but the shooter or shooters had already fled and no suspects had been identified or arrested. Community members reacted with fear and frustration, and a memorial of balloons, flowers, and candles was placed at the scene. The Harrisburg Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone saw the shooting or has information about who fired into that crowd, please share what you know with investigators.
