Jahara Kennedy was 20 when she was shot and killed at a family birthday celebration on January 4, 2015. The party was on the north side of Milwaukee at the Days Inn on North 6th Street. A group of men attempted to rob those at the gathering; Kennedy tried to barricade herself behind a closed door and was struck in the head when an assailant fired a gun through it. Police received the shooting report at about 12:40 p.m.

Four men were charged in connection with the fatal shooting. Two of the suspects, 17-year-old Charlie D. Johnson and 19-year-old Ricky Ray Allen, Jr., later pleaded guilty to felony murder while committing an armed robbery.

If anyone attended that party or has information about the robbery and shooting, please share what is known.
