Sha’kerria E’moni King

Age 17

Natchez, Mississippi

Pregnant teen killed in drive-by shooting

Her unique personality shined through her brown eyes and reflected off the gloss of her painted fingernails, featuring bright polish ranging from black to sky blue.

She was a sociable, smiling face among fellow Natchez-Adams School District students. She adored barbeque food, IKEA and the singer Fantasia. Known by her middle name, she enjoyed spending time with family and friends, whom she supported with an abundance of love and affection.

Sha’kerria E’moni King, 17, was shot to death along with her unborn child in Natchez, Mississippi, during a drive-by shooting on July 22, 2018.
