In Dec of 2017, 22 Brandi Mells and her partner, 36 Shanta Myers, and Myer's two children 11, Jeremiah, and 5, Shaniese Myers were murdered in their Troy, New York home. The entire family was found in the basement bound with their throats cut.

Friends and family said Mells and Myers were kind and low key, "She was such an easygoing, loving person,” Mells’ uncle, Keith McCutchen, told the Times Union. “I can imagine the look in her eyes when this was happening, like, ‘Why would anyone do this to me?'"

Ms. Meyers leaves behind a son who was away from the house on the day of the murder. He was 15 at the time of the murders.
