On the evening of August 5, 2016, 19-year-old college student Aniya Edwards was standing with friends in front of an abandoned house on Thorpe Street in Pontiac, Michigan, when a dark-colored vehicle approached with its lights off and occupants wearing masks opened fire. Aniya was struck in the abdomen and, despite being rushed to the hospital by sheriff’s deputies, died of her injuries; three others with her were wounded and survived.

Aniya had just finished her first year of college in Memphis, where she lived with her father, and had returned to Pontiac with plans to enroll at Oakland Community College. Family remembered her as generous, loving, and carefree with a bright smile. The investigation produced arrests: Ashton Greenhouse was taken into custody in August 2017 and later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, three counts of assault with intent to commit murder, and felony firearm charges; his plea included a minimum 25-year sentence. In June 2018 Adonte Bouie was arrested and charged, but a jury later acquitted him of Aniya’s murder and the shooting-related charges.

Does anyone have information about Aniya, that night on Thorpe Street, or the people involved?
