La’Syiah Cimone Baxter was 15 and a freshman at Maury High School when she was found fatally shot inside a motel room at an Econo Lodge Inn & Suites on Northampton Boulevard in Virginia Beach on the evening of May 10, 2020. A Black female remembered for dancing, rapping and a lively, kind personality, she had recently graduated from Norview Middle School and was close with many friends there.

Virginia Beach Police opened a homicide investigation after officers discovered La’Syiah alone in the room. The investigation was described as open and active, and her family and friends continue to grieve her loss.

If anyone has information about La’Syiah’s death or was in the area of the motel that evening, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
