Shareef was transported to Miami Valley Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The incident occurred at the Summit Square Townhouses in Dayton, where police were called to the scene following reports of a shooting.
A 26-year-old woman named Kenyatta Davonna Miliner was later indicted on two counts of murder and two counts of felonious assault in connection with Shareef's death.
