In the early moments of September 11, 2024, the life of 30-year-old Shiann Lamae Green was tragically cut short in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. At approximately 12:08 a.m., Philadelphia police responded to a report of a person with a gun on the 2300 block of East Hagert Street. Upon their arrival, they discovered Shiann suffering from gunshot wounds to her chest and left arm.
Paramedics were unable to save her, and she was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:15 a.m.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, but as of now, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been identified. At the scene of the crime, investigators found four shell casings, but the weapon used in the shooting was not recovered. In an effort to generate leads, a reward of up to $20,000 has been offered for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Shiann's death.
In the wake of this senseless act of violence, Shiann's mother, Elizabeth Santiago, created a GoFundMe page to help with the unexpected financial burden of funeral costs. In her plea for support, she expressed the deep sorrow and unimaginable loss her family is experiencing. The community has been urged to come forward with any information they may have by contacting the Philadelphia Police Department's tip line.
