A New Year’s Eve party in Sioux City ended in deadly gunfire shortly after midnight on January 1, 2021. Eighteen-year-old Mia Alexis-Marie Kritis was inside a Walker Street residence with about two dozen people when multiple individuals outside opened fire. At least 27 rounds from handguns and an assault-style rifle struck the house; Mia suffered a fatal gunshot wound and three others were wounded and survived. Police described her as an innocent victim.

Mia had moved to Sioux City less than a year earlier to live with her father, was about to graduate high school early, and planned to pursue nursing. She worked at the Dakota Dunes Country Club and had quickly made friends at North High School.

Investigators identified several people connected to the shooting. If anyone knew Mia, was at the party, or has information about that night, please share what can help clarify what happened.
