News. Sharniece really loved doing community stories. She loved talking to people. Reporter her family says she was returning from work on a story using Public Transportation as she typically did. She was shot as she transferred buses just minutes from home. Police believe the intended target of the gunshot that killed her may have pulled her into the line of fire, used her as a human shield. At 9 28 she texted me and said, im on my way home. So i was waiting for her to text exactly, let me know if she needed me to pick her up where she was. And we never got that text last night. Typically we think of losses of journalists as being out in the middle east or in africa or in dangerous places. But here you lost a very, very active and Important Community journalist in ward 7. Reporter now, as a freelancer here at the hill rag she didnt spend a lot of time at the offices. But in the limited time she was here she made a positive impression on just about everybody. She was always very nice.
