On the night of September 20, 2022, 15-year-old Demi Mae Galvin was killed in a targeted shooting at a friend’s house on North 6th Street in Niles, Michigan. The attack, around 11:37 p.m., also killed 18-year-old Yasmeen Scott and wounded three teenage boys. Authorities describe the incident as part of a cycle of retaliation and have linked it to two earlier nearby homicides: Farries Maxwell on August 16, 2022, and Ra'Quon Glenn on September 8, 2022.

Demi was born May 7, 2007, in Michigan City, Indiana. Family remembered her for a kind heart, an infectious smile, a love of animals and dreams of becoming a beautician through hairstyling and manicuring. The City of Niles Police Department, Berrien County Sheriff’s Department and Michigan State Police are investigating, and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone knew Demi, was at the scene that night, or has information that could help identify those responsible, please come forward.
