On June 9th of 2000, Shamika Scott was found dead in a room at the Wagon Wheel Motel in Amarillo. During the initial investigation the case was ruled a homicide. Shamika Scott was just 24 at the time of her murder. There has been a lot of speculation about who might have committed the crime, but there is not enough evidence to prove who the suspect is. Throughout the course of the investigation, there have been a number of people who investigators have talked to. However, the details that came from those interviews have not yet led the APD Homicide Unit to the evidence that could solve this case. The Amarillo Police Department Homicide Unit asks that anyone who may have any information that could help solve this case, and give Shamika Scott’s family closure, call them at 378-9468.
