Accused murderer of Romeca Meeks’ walks free – the woman shot her in the face while her ex held her in a headlock

Chicago police released the woman accused of fatally shooting 31-year-old Romeca Meeks (Meeks-Blackmon) outside her child’s school.

Police took the suspect, identified on social media as Hope Johnson, into custody but released her without charges. Officials have not officially confirmed the shooter’s identity. According to the authorities, the shooting was domestic in nature. Investigators have not disclosed further details about the altercation leading up to the attack.

Meeks-Blackmon’s ex, Carlos “Losos” Way — the father of her child that she just dropped at school — reportedly held Meeks-Blackmon in a headlock while the woman pulled the trigger, shooting Meeks-Blackmon in the face, according to witnesses on social media.

There is no publicly available information indicating that Way has faced any charges in connection with the case.

Social media responds to no charges filed

The decision to release Johnson has ignited a wave of criticism on social media, with many questioning the lack of legal action. Community members and activists are demanding a thorough investigation and accountability for those involved in the shooting.

The absence of charges has raised concerns about the criteria used by law enforcement in determining when to file charges, particularly in cases involving domestic violence.

According to CBS News, Meeks-Blackmon was remembered as a devoted mother and a beloved member of her community. Her mother, Tina McMiller, has publicly demanded justice, calling for accountability and reform in response to her daughter’s death. The Meeks-Blackmon investigation is ongoing.
