Aaliyah Simmons, 21, was shot and killed at a home on Blue Gill Way in Spartanburg County just before midnight on October 3, 2025. Deputies found Simmons with a gunshot wound to the chest; medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene.

Investigators say two people, 19-year-old Angel Marie Willis and 24-year-old Jorge Armando Cano Jr., arrived at the residence intending to fight a friend of Simmons. During the confrontation, Willis allegedly shot Simmons. Witness interviews led to the arrests the next day.

On October 4, 2025, Willis was charged with murder and Cano was charged with accessory after the fact; both were booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Facility. A judge denied bond for Cano, and the judge did not set bond for Willis because of the murder charge. The Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.

Does anyone have information about Aaliyah, the incident that night, or the people involved?
