On November 30, 2019, 18-year-old Laurina Blake was shot multiple times outside her West Side apartment on Lovell Drive in Charleston, West Virginia. The shooting happened shortly after 7 p.m. as Blake was unloading groceries from her white Nissan Rogue; neighbors reported hearing a string of gunshots and made 14 separate 911 calls. Officers found Blake next to her vehicle and she later died at the hospital.

Police identified Blake’s boyfriend at the time, Qynell Bradshaw, known on the streets as Juice, as a person of interest. Bradshaw had an earlier history of violence toward Blake: five months before the murder he was charged with malicious wounding after an assault that reportedly left her choking and with facial injuries. He also faced a weapons charge for possession of a Taurus Judge revolver and was out on bond. Other named individuals—Dante Spencer Williams, Terrance Rajar Bonner, and Memphis Ross—were also said to have information but did not cooperate.

Bradshaw was arrested on outstanding warrants in January 2020 after a traffic stop and later faced failure-to-appear arrests, but no one has been formally charged in Blake’s killing. Police say investigators need a key witness to come forward; the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Laurina, was in the Lovell Drive area that evening, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
