PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Nearly three years after a 24-year-old woman was killed in a drive-by shooting, the second suspect believed to be responsible for her death is on trial. Shawn Mann, 33, has been charged with first-degree murder an various firearms offenses in connection with the August 2021 shooting death of Miya Brophy-Baermann. Brophy-Baermann was gunned down while standing next to her parked car on Olney Street with her boyfriend. Mann's suspected accomplice, 27-year-old Isaiah Pinkerton, was found guilty of first-degree murder last year and is serving double life sentences.

Pinkerton opened fire on the couple believing that her boyfriend was responsible for the death of Mann's brother, according to prosecutors. Miya Brophy-Baerman Brophy-Baermann’s boyfriend testified during Pinkerton's trial that he has never been in a gang and the men targeted for the wrong person. It took more than a year for police to track down Mann and Pinkerton. Prosecutors said it was a routine traffic stop that broke the case open, when officers found a ghost gun wrapped in a bandana near where the suspects were pulled over. Prosecutors called their first witness to the stand Monday — a retired Providence detective who worked extensively on the case. Paul Romano, who worked as a detective for 16 years before retiring in 2023, went over the evidence uncovered at the crime scene that night, including Brophy-Baermann's car which had a bullet hole in the trunk.

He added that the lead bullet that was inside that jacket was never recovered. Mann's trial officially began last Tuesday, nearly nine months after it was supposed to start. It's expected to continue this week. Prior to her death, Brophy-Baermann had just graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in speech pathology and started a job in her field. Her parents started a scholarship fund in her name. Joe Cortese contributed to this report. NEXT: 2 students receive scholarships in murder victim’s memory Close Thanks for signing up!
