Shamekia Lynette Griffin, 33, was shot and killed at her home on 1809 Mahogany Court in Sanford, North Carolina, on November 19, 2010. The shooting happened just after 9 p.m.; her 33-year-old estranged boyfriend, Isaac Tyrone Jackson Jr., arrived armed, shot Shamekia, and later surrendered to authorities. Shamekia’s 15-year-old son witnessed the attack and pleaded with Jackson not to kill his mother.

Jackson had a prior manslaughter conviction from 1999, when he served four months in jail after accidentally shooting his 17-year-old brother. Shamekia’s funeral was held on November 24, 2010, at Works for Christ Christian Center in Sanford, and she was buried at Minter Cemetery.

Anyone who knew Shamekia or has information about that night is asked to come forward.
