Asiyanna Shanay Jones-Eurquhart was 22 when she was killed on October 2, 2017, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. She was sitting in a parked car on Dewey Avenue at about 10:45 p.m. when a gunfight erupted between two men. A stray bullet struck her in the head; she was taken to Berkshire Medical Center and then flown to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, where she died in the early hours of October 3, 2017.

Born in Augusta, Georgia, Asiyanna moved to Pittsfield at age two and graduated from Pittsfield High School. She worked with children at the local YMCA and at Hillcrest Educational Center and was remembered for her love of fashion and makeup, her beautiful eyes and smile, and her dedication to mentoring young children.

Investigators identified the two men involved in the exchange of gunfire as Carey Pilot and Gary Linen. Legal proceedings that concluded in December 2022 resulted in convictions and prison sentences for those involved, including a life sentence for Gary Linen and a 15 to 20 year sentence for Carey Pilot; Elizabeth Perez was convicted of misleading police and received two to four years, and Dayanlee Bracero-Quirindo was also charged with misleading a police officer. Does anyone have information about Asiyanna’s final evening or the vehicle she was in on Dewey Avenue?
