Lakeisha Streety | Unsolved Murder | Cold Case

Today is Lakeisha Streety's birthday she would be have been 41 as of 6/14 today, over 12 years ago she was murdered in her home multiple news sources reported different ways that contributed to her death, I've read strangulation, stabbing, and being shot so there is no official report via the web of how she met this cruel, unfortunate demise.

I have looked for news reports to obtain more information on recent updates but as of right now I haven't seen any recent or thorough reports on this matter. It was very much a sentence or two not even a full paragraph which is a injustice in itself, that I cannot seem to wrap my mind around. She left behind two children and a whole bunch of friends and family who you can tell loved her dearly. Hopefully with this post something can jog the memory of someone decides to come forward and provide this family with answers. Visit her memory page below to see comments left by family and loved ones. #JusticeforLakeishaStreety

Officers arrived at a an apartment in the 2800 block of Stanton Avenue and found 28-year-old Lakeisha Streety's lifeless body inside. Police say that they are investigating her death as a homicide. They also think that her missing car might have some clue to who shot her and why. Officers are looking for a burgundy 1991 Pontiac Bonneville with an Ohio license plate DKG 3145.

Below are pictures of the apartment in Sept 2007 and in August 2014 it currently looks abandoned as of recent.

Starting in 2010, the Department of Corrections has distributed thousands of these special decks to prisons throughout the state, with the hope that inmates will see them, experience a flash of recognition, and come forward with information. To date, the cards have generated some 600 tips, and while many of them have proved useless, enough have resulted in breakthroughs that the program is considered a success; last year, Connecticut Chief State’s Attorney Kevin Kane said the cards had “led directly or indirectly” to nine cold cases being solved since the program began.

Cold-case playing cards have been embraced not just in Connecticut but all over the country. Law enforcement agencies in at least 17 states have taken up the little-known approach since 2005, when authorities in Polk County, Florida—inspired by the infamous decks of cards showing members of Saddam Hussein’s regime that were handed out to U.S. troops during the Iraq war—decided to start selling cold-case cards in jails for $1.75 a deck. A spokesman for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement explained at the time, “It’s kind of like interviewing 93,000 inmates for new leads and it has worked wonders.”
