Stephanie Nicole Childers was 23 when she was shot and killed on December 4, 2020, inside an apartment in the 1600 block of 7th Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia. Police responded to a report of a shooting and found her with a gunshot wound; she was taken to a local hospital but did not survive.

Officers identified 22-year-old Shyheim R. Ali as the person who had been with Childers at the time. Police say a verbal argument between them escalated before the gunshot. Ali left the scene but was located and taken into custody for questioning; he was later arrested and charged with murder and with being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.

The case concluded with Ali convicted of murder and sentenced to prison. Does anyone have information about Stephanie’s last known movements or who might have been at the apartment that night?
