Sheffield Bystander Fatally Shot: Man Charged With Murder, Woman With Assisting Offender

A man and a woman have been charged in connection with the death of Shanice Brookes, who was fatally shot outside a Sheffield bar on Monday. Brookes, a 30-year-old mother-of-one, was discovered with serious injuries outside One Four One on West Street at approximately 02:45 BST, and later died in hospital.

South Yorkshire Police stated that Ms Brookes, a charity worker residing in the city, was an 'entirely innocent bystander' enjoying a night out over the bank holiday when she was killed.

Jemele Rhone, 30, of Outram Road, Sheffield, has been charged with murder. Deiryen Dyce, 32, of Ellesmere Road North, Sheffield, faces charges of assisting an offender. Both individuals were charged on Thursday night and remanded into custody, with appearances scheduled at Sheffield Magistrates' Court today.

Rhone also faces charges of possession of a firearm and possession of criminal property. Dyce is additionally charged with possession of ammunition, possession of drugs with intent to supply, and possession of criminal property.

A 30-year-old man initially arrested on Monday on suspicion of murder has since been released and is no longer considered a suspect.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Knowles from South Yorkshire Police remarked on the tragic nature of the incident, highlighting that Ms Brookes' family, including her young son, are now confronting the 'unimaginable loss' of their beloved daughter, friend, and mother under the most tragic circumstances.
