Aja Booth, 25, was fatally shot on the evening of October 3 in Detroit while at her brother Lanardo Booth’s home. A single shot was fired through the kitchen window and struck Aja as she and her brother were talking. Family describe the killing as seemingly random; authorities said there was no indication Aja was the intended target and that the curtained window prevented anyone outside from seeing in.

Aja had previously received a kidney transplant and was awaiting a second one. Her family remembered her as resilient and beloved; her mother Ramona Booth expressed devastation at the loss. Detroit police investigated but reported few leads, limited evidence and few witnesses. No arrests or suspects have been announced.

Does anyone in the Detroit area have information about the shooting or recall unusual activity near that address on October 3?
