Kamiyah Street, a senior point guard for the Kennesaw State women’s basketball team, was arrested last Thursday on a murder charge following a nearly five month investigation, according to TMZ and local news reports. Street has not been convicted, and the charges against her are allegations.
Authorities say Street is one of five people charged in the July death of Nashiem, a 21 year old man who was found dead at an Atlanta apartment complex on July 16th with an apparent gunshot wound. Police have called the incident a targeted attack, though it is unclear whether Nashiem was the intended target.
Street, 20, had been averaging 21 points and 5 rebounds this season. Kennesaw State’s assistant athletic director for communications, David Beall, said she has been suspended indefinitely. According to TMZ, the charges include murder, three counts of felony murder, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
The four other people charged are Johnerton, 21, Cortez, 22, Tobias, 20, and Dontacus, 20. Fulton County prosecutors indicted all five in October. The first three have been in jail for months, while Dontacus was reported to still be at large. It is not clear why Street’s arrest came after the others.
In a statement to TMZ, prosecutors said investigators identified Street by reviewing surveillance video from the scene. Prosecutors also said that after questioning, Street admitted she was present and took part in the incident. A response from Street was not included in the reports.
Nashiem’s mother, Maiyannie, spoke to Atlanta’s Channel 2 Action News and said she was frustrated by how long the arrest took, noting that Street was able to play in Kennesaw State’s first four games of the season.
Investigators have not released a motive or described the role each person is accused of playing.
