Providence Police have identified the victim of this weekend’s homicide in the city. Police confirmed Monday that 24-year-old Warwick native Miya Brophy-Baermann was shot and killed early Sunday morning on Olney Street on the East Side of Providence.
According to Brophy-Baermann’s LinkedIn page, she recently received her Master’s Degree in Speech and Language Pathology — with a 3.94 GPA— from Northeastern University. She received her undergraduate degree from URI in 2019.
Brophy-Baermann had recently held a number of internships and fellowships prior to graduating, including working as a student clinician at Northeastern, East Taunton Elementary School, as well as at Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital in Braintree and at Reliant Rehabilitation in North Providence. Her mother is a professor at Rhode Island College. Police say Brophy-Baermann, who had just celebrated her 24th birthday, was speaking with a friend at around 3:30 AM on Olney Street Sunday morning when a car came by at a high rate of speed — and fired shots and struck her. She was taken to RIH where she was pronounced deceased. Police believe Brophy-Baermann was not known to assailants and was leaving an after-party when she was shot.
“It’s horrible,” said Providence Police Major David Lapatin. “To be such a coward to shoot a gun out of a car like that..it’s incredible. We feel for the victim, like we do every victim here.” Providence police are currently investigating.
