Letisha Shakespeare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Letisha Shakespeare was a young British woman, born in 1985, who was murdered on January 2, 2003, along with Charlene Ellis, in a botched gangland shooting.

In what has become known as the New Year Murders, Shakespeare and Ellis had been standing outside a hair salon in Aston, Birmingham during the early hours of the morning, following a party.

Four men – Michael Gregory, Rodrigo Simms, Marcus Ellis (the half brother of Charlene Ellis), and Nathan Martin - were all found guilty of the murders at Leicester Crown Court in March 2005.
