Summary
A mother’s tragic death in Ferguson: Shakeela Martin, 35, was fatally shot while buying slushies with her two young children—just moments before midnight. Police say she was an innocent bystander caught in crossfire from a dispute that erupted inside a gas station. She leaves behind five children, none physically harmed but deeply scarred emotionally. The shooter remains at large, and an adult male was critically injured. Martin, who was set to move into a new home the next day, had no life insurance—prompting a GoFundMe to support her kids. Her family remembers her as a devoted mother whose children were her world.
