Pregnant rapper and ceo found shot dead in luxury suv as police hunt killer

A shocking mystery is unfolding after a rising entrepreneur and artist was found shot dead inside her own luxury vehicle in the middle of the night.

Qualeisha Barnes, known professionally as Siditty, was discovered unresponsive in the front seat of her white Range Rover Sport in Atlanta around 1:30 a.m. on April 10, 2026.

Authorities confirmed the 36-year-old, who was 14 weeks pregnant, suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Police believe the shots were fired from outside the vehicle, suggesting a targeted attack or drive-by style shooting. But one key question remains unanswered.

Why her?

Investigators say there is currently no confirmed motive and no suspect has been identified. Detectives are now combing through nearby CCTV footage and urging residents to come forward with any information that could help piece together what happened.

Barnes was more than just an artist.

She was also the CEO of So Siditty Boutique, an online fashion business, and was reportedly just months away from completing nursing school. Friends and family say she had been building a life in Atlanta for nearly a decade after leaving her hometown of Detroit.

Now, tributes are pouring in.

Loved ones describe her as vibrant, driven, and full of life, with many expressing disbelief over the brutal and sudden nature of her death.

Police officials have emphasized that the case remains active and evolving, with community cooperation playing a critical role in finding answers.

For now, a young mother-to-be, entrepreneur, and artist is gone, and a city is left searching for justice.
