The city of Indianapolis is mourning the heartbreaking loss of 26-year-old Amanda Sheree, who was shot and killed inside her apartment on Monday, November 24. The tragic incident unfolded in a matter of seconds, leaving a family shattered and a community grieving. Police say Amanda’s 2-year-old daughter was inside the home at the time of the shooting but was not physically harmed. Loved ones, however, say the emotional scars left behind will last a lifetime.
According to early reports, a man believed to be Amanda’s ex-boyfriend came to her apartment and knocked on the door shortly before the attack. When Amanda approached and asked who was there, several gunshots suddenly tore through the door, striking her multiple times. Neighbors immediately called 911 after hearing the loud blasts and the young mother’s cries for help. Despite the quick response from emergency crews, Amanda could not be saved.
In the days leading up to her death, Amanda had shared alarming posts on social media that revealed the fear and emotional pain she was living with. One message read, “Mfs don’t care about you until you’re dead,” a statement that now feels chilling to those who saw it. Family members say Amanda had been increasingly worried about her safety and had confided in them about the troubling behavior she was experiencing. They believe her posts were a silent cry for help.
Police records show that officers had been called to Amanda’s residence multiple times in the past for domestic disturbances, harassment, and even a protective-order violation. These repeated calls paint a picture of a young mother desperately trying to protect herself and her child from ongoing danger. Loved ones say Amanda wanted a peaceful life and was trying to distance herself from a toxic relationship, but the threats against her only seemed to grow stronger.
Although detectives have not yet confirmed a suspect or shared a motive, Amanda’s family firmly believes the shooting is connected to the domestic issues she had reported in the months before her death. They are urging investigators to move swiftly and ensure the person responsible is brought to justice. For them, this tragedy is not just another case — it is the unbearable loss of a daughter, mother, and friend who deserved so much more.
As the investigation continues, the community is rallying around Amanda’s loved ones, offering prayers, support, and comfort. Friends describe her as kind, loving, and deeply devoted to her little girl. They say her light was dimmed far too soon, and they hope her story serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect victims of domestic violence before it’s too late.
