#9 – Kelsey Quayle 28-year-old aspiring model Kelsey Quayle
crashed her car on a Georgia road while on the way to her dental assistant job, on October the 8th of
2018. Video surveillance from a gas station in the area captured Quayle veering into oncoming traffic
and colliding with two cars. She was rushed to the hospital where doctors discovered that she’d
also suffered a gunshot wound to the neck. The combination of injuries from the accident and
gunshot proved so severe that Quayle had to be put on life support. Two days later, her family
made the decision to turn off the machines and the woman passed away. Investigators struggled
with the case because there had been no reports of shots fired or of anybody driving recklessly
on the morning in question. The authorities suspected that the bullet was either randomly
or accidentally shot from a passing car. After looking through several different surveillance
videos from the area, investigators noticed a man who’d been involved in two altercations on the
same road just moments before the shooting, and considered him as a person of interest. However,
they weren’t able to identify him, and no arrests were made as of the latest updates.
#8 – Danah Rojo-Rivas
On the evening of November the 23rd of 2016, the day before Thanksgiving,
teenager Danah Rojo-Rivas was shot after leaving church with her family in Los Angeles.
She was riding in the backseat of the car when her mother unknowingly drove through a gang-related
shooting, resulting in Rojo-Rivas being struck by a stray bullet. The intended targets were
two men who were stopped at a traffic light in a burgundy SUV while Rojo-Rivas’s mother was making
a right turn at the light. At that point, as reported by the authorities, a man in another car
fired several shots at the SUV. One of the bullets hit the Rojo-Rivas family car, as it was turning,
went through the backseat window and struck the teenager in the chest. The shooter fled the
scene in his car while the intended targets, who emerged from shooting unharmed, ran away on foot.
Rojo-Rivas’s 18-year-old brother and pet poodle were also in the car as the incident unfolded, and
when her mother realized what had happened, she immediately pulled over. Fellow churchgoers called
911 and rushed over to try to help, but Rojo-Rivas had already succumbed to her injuries. The poodle,
who’d been sitting on Rojo-Rivas’s lap in the backseat, ran into the street and was fatally hit
by a passing car. As of August 2022, nearly six years since the tragic incident, the case remains
unsolved. On June the 2nd, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors offered a $20,000 reward
to anyone with information that could potentially lead to the arrest and conviction of the people
responsible for Rojo-Rivas’s death. #7 – Saron James
On July the 16th of 2019, Saron James was travelling down a Texas road with her husband
when she was suddenly struck by a stray bullet. The couple had just left a doctor’s appointment
and initially thought they’d heard fireworks. Then, as James’s husband looked over at her, he
saw the woman slumped over in the passenger seat with a gunshot wound to the head. She was rushed
to the hospital but ultimately passed away from her injuries. Witnesses told investigators that
two individuals in a white SUV had gotten into a verbal altercation with the driver of a black
Ford pickup truck that was parked on the side of the road. Then, the driver of the SUV returned to
his car and opened fire at the pickup with a rifle that a bystander saw sticking out of the window.
James’ car, which had previously been traveling right behind the two, was caught in the crossfire.
Both cars sped off after the shooting. Witnesses were able to give a description of the shooter,
and police later connected 19-year-old Tekoney Blackledge to the incident. He was a known
offender in the area who had previously been charged with engaging in organized criminal
activity. Several anonymous tips to investigators indicated that Blackledge owned the SUV involved
in the shooting and a witness was able to positively identify him from a previous mugshot
when investigators presented them with a photo lineup. About two weeks later, on July the 27th,
police tracked Blackledge down several states away, in Minnesota, and took him into custody.
#6 – Annie Sandifer 35-year-old Annie Sandifer was
on a party bus parked in front of a supper club in Milwaukee when a drive-by gunman fired six shots,
on February the 1st of 2020. Sandifer, who was 26 weeks pregnant at the time, was hit by a bullet
and died at the scene. She was then rushed to the hospital in an attempt to save her unborn child,
who was still in stable condition. Doctors worked quickly to perform an emergency cesarean section
and they were able to successfully deliver the deceased woman’s premature baby. About a week
later, law enforcement arrested and charged Antion Haywood with first degree reckless homicide.
He was reportedly also at the supper club on the night of the shooting and witnesses claimed to
have seen the intoxicated man leave in a car that matched the description of the one involved in the
drive by shooting. On April the 2nd of 2021, however, a jury found Haywood not guilty and
acquitted him of all charges. #5 – Carlether Foley
Just after midnight, on September the 26th of 2021, actress Carlether Foley was fatally shot
while she was sleeping at her Georgia apartment. The woman’s 22-year-old neighbor, Maxwell
Williamson, was cleaning his gun in his own apartment when it accidentally discharged and shot
straight through the wall they shared, ultimately hitting Foley in the head. In the aftermath,
Williamson allegedly left a note for 36-year-old Foley about the damage done to the wall,
but had no idea that she’d been struck by the bullet. The next morning, Foley’s teenage son
discovered her body and called the police. When investigators noticed the hole in the wall,
they went over to Williamson’s apartment to ask him about it. He admitted that the gun had gone
off by accident whereupon the police informed him that his neighbor had died as a result of it.
Williamson was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct.
#4 – Charles Spencer Hudson 46-year-old Charles Spencer Hudson
was working at a Bourbon Street nightclub, in New Orleans, on March the 20th of 2022,
when he was hit by a stray bullet that had been fired from outside the establishment.
A 24-year-old woman named Daphney Jackson was identified as the shooter and the bullet she’d
discharged struck Hudson in the chest, killing him on the spot. Jackson was
arrested that same morning and charged with manslaughter, obstruction of justice, and
discharging a weapon during a violent crime. If convicted, she faced up to 40 years in prison. Law
enforcement didn’t immediately disclose Jackson’s intended target or the motive behind the shooting.
#3 – Nya Cope
On May the 3rd of 2020, teenager Nya Cope was in Indianapolis with her mother and a friend for
what was supposed to be a quiet weekend getaway, when she got caught in a gunfire exchange. Nya and
her friend were in the car with the former’s mother, Nikki, who was behind the wheel. They
were on their way to Nya’s favorite restaurant when several gunshots suddenly rang out. Police
believed that the gunfire had come from a large crowd that was attending a car show on the night,
and that the incident had boiled down to being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
As the trio passed the large crowd, their car was hit multiple times and Nya was left bleeding from
the side of her face after being hit by a bullet. Nikki pulled the car over and performed CPR on her
daughter while the friend called 911, but it was too late. Police didn’t immediately have any leads
on who’d killed Nya and no arrests were made. A year later, in May of 2021, Nikki again pleaded
for anyone with any information to come forward. #2 – Anthony Alexander
On January the 11th of 2019, the Alexander family was spending a Saturday night relaxing
in their Michigan home when they heard gunshots outside. 28-year-old Anthony Alexander Jr. was
in his bedroom when a bullet fired from around half a block away smashed through his window and
struck him in the head. Investigators believed that the stray projectile had come from either
of two cars that were exchanging fire near the home as part of a gang or drug-related dispute.
Anthony was rushed to the hospital but was later declared brain dead and
placed on life support. The family ultimately decided to take him off life support and donate
his organs. While no arrests were made in the case, the authorities believed that those
involved in Anthony’s death had also taken part in three shootings that occurred the following day.
Police discovered a stolen car covered in bullet holes, and two men with gunshot wounds had gone
to a local hospital for treatment. Investigators suspected that the incidents were connected but,
as of the latest information available on the matter, hadn’t taken anyone into custody.
#1 – Dennis Nelner In September of 2019, a Canadian
man in the Northwest Territories was struck by a bullet meant for a bear. An Environment and
Natural Resources officer had intended to shoot an aggressive bear that was roaming around the
community when his bullet went through the wall of Dennis Nelner’s home. The projectile bounced
around the room before striking the man in the thigh, narrowly missing the bone and a major
artery. Nelner was taken to the hospital where he was treated for the wound and subsequently made
a full recovery. Following an investigation, the officer involved in the accidental shooting faced
no charges, as the incident was described as “extremely unfortunate and unpredictable.” The
investigation also revealed that the officer had followed the right protocol and that no issues
were identified with their training or experience. As for Nelner, he hoped that what happened to him
would inspire changes in how situations involving aggressive bears were handled.
