On the evening of December 18, 2020, in Detroit, Michigan, sisters Shakiya Todd, 18, and Shaniya Todd, 21, were shot and killed while visiting a home on Lantz Street to check on a woman they knew.

Shaniya was the mother of a young son and the shootings compounded a family already grieving the recent loss of the sisters’ mother. Detroit police identified D’Andre Smith as the suspect; he later turned himself in and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and a felony firearm violation. He was arraigned in 36th District Court and a probable cause conference was set for early January 2021.

If anyone knew Shakiya or Shaniya, or has information about the shooting, please share what can help clarify what happened.
