Samirria White, 19, was shot and killed in her Saint Paul apartment during the early hours of Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015. Witnesses in the apartment say White and her 21-year-old boyfriend, Dimitri Harrell, had been arguing after Harrell had been coming and going through the night; White had told him she wanted to end the relationship. The argument escalated in the bedroom while the couple’s three-month-old daughter was present. A brother sleeping in the living room woke to shouting and a single gunshot; he found White on the bedroom floor and Harrell nearby. It was later reported Samirria was holding the infant when she was shot in the head.

Harrell fled the scene but turned himself in and was arrested. He told police the shooting was accidental, saying the gun discharged while he tried to pull it from his pocket, but reports described the gun as having been fired within inches of White’s face. He was charged with second-degree murder. Does anyone have information about Samirria’s life in Saint Paul or recall that night?
