On the evening of May 12, 2024, 32-year-old Shaquisa Justine Sims was shot outside the Something Different bar at 56 Austin Street in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, after an argument that began inside the bar was moved outdoors by the owner. Witnesses say 21-year-old Andrew Maurice Howard drew a firearm and fired multiple shots; Sims was struck in the torso and later pronounced dead at WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital. Fayette County Coroner Bob Baker ruled her death a homicide.

A 29-year-old woman, Jasmine Johnson, identified in court records as Howard’s girlfriend, was shot in the left wrist and survived. Howard fled on foot but later arrived at Uniontown Hospital with a gunshot wound; investigators have not publicly resolved whether that wound was self-inflicted or caused by another person. Howard was charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and firearms violations, was treated medically, waived extradition, and was arraigned and held in Fayette County Prison without bond.

Who has information about what led to the shooting that night and can help clarify how Howard was wounded?
