Year after Miya Brophy Baermann’s killing, no arrests have been made

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Monday marks one year since 24-year-old Miya Brophy Baermann was shot and killed in Providence.

Police said that she was standing on the sidewalk of Olney Street talking to a friend, when she was killed by a drive-by shooter.

Providence Police Maj. David Lapatin on Monday updated ABC 6 on the status of the case, saying, “We haven’t put this case down. We’re working hard. There’s not much I can put out there, obviously. It’s an active investigation, but like I said, we’re working hard. We haven’t put it down.”

Investigators believe that the shooter thought Baermann was someone else when they fired the gun.

One year later, no arrests have been made.

Last December, an anonymous donor posted a $100,000 reward for information about the shooting.
