A 34 year old mother is shot to death on the porch of her Savannah, GA home In the autumn of 2011, the life of 34-year-old Dejuana Cawley was tragically cut short in Savannah, Georgia. On the evening of October 2nd, police responded to a call of shots fired in the 300 block of West 42nd Street. Upon their arrival, they discovered the body of the African-American mother on the front porch of her residence. She had sustained at least one gunshot wound.
Dejuana was a mother to three sons, Bernard Glover, Jr., DeAndre Glover, and Harvey Cooley, and a daughter,
Tynika Cooley. Her sudden and violent death left her family and community in shock. Her daughter, Tynika, described her as a 'sweet person' who 'wouldn't harm anybody.' The investigation into her murder was launched immediately, with homicide detectives canvassing the area for any leads. Authorities believed that someone in the community may have seen or heard something that could be crucial to solving the case and urged the public to come forward with any information.
Despite the passage of more than a decade, the case of Dejuana Cawley's murder remains unsolved. No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. Her death was noted as the only female homicide victim reported to the Savannah-Chatham Police Department in 2011. Her daughter's plea for justice continues to echo through the years, as she has publicly urged anyone with knowledge of the crime to come forward so that her family can finally have closure. The case remains an open and active investigation, with law enforcement still seeking the crucial tip that could lead to the person or persons responsible for her death.
