On July 3, 2022, 21-year-old Sh’Tyana Cortezia Ingram was shot at a gas station at 833 East Malone Avenue in Sikeston, Missouri. Known to family and friends as Shaay Herbo, she was taken to Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau but died of her wounds. A second person was also shot and taken to Missouri Delta Medical Center; that person survived.

The Sikeston Department of Public Safety, assisted by the Major Case Squad of Southeast Missouri, investigated and determined the shooting was not random. A 16-year-old male from Charleston was later taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon; his name was withheld because he is a juvenile. Investigators also identified Demarcus Phillip Turner of Charleston as a person of interest and sought his whereabouts in connection with the killing.

Sh’Tyana had moved to Sikeston from Flint, Michigan, and was remembered by her community as a devoted family member and a woman of faith. If anyone has information about what happened that night, contact the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.
