Christina Snow is reportedly recovering after her alleged boyfriend, Shamar Elkins, shot her and their three children on Sunday in Shreveport, Louisiana. Snow’s cousin recently revealed she’s suffering from a lodged bullet in her face, memory loss and deep grief.
Snow is one of the two women Shamar Elkins shot who survived, while eight children died of gunshot wounds. What exactly happened is still under investigation, despite Elkins reportedly dying following a police pursuit. The mass shooting is reportedly the deadliest in the U.S. since January 2024.
Shamar Elkins’ Alleged Girlfriend & Wife Had Kids The Same Age And Lived Close To Each Other
According to the New York Post, Christina Snow and Shamar Elkins had three kids together: 11-year-old Sariahh Snow, 6-year-old Khedarrion Snow and 5-year-old Braylon Snow. NBC News reports that Elkins’ rampage started at Snow’s house, which is located on Harrison Street, in Shreveport, Louisiana. At around 6 a.m. Snow reportedly called 911 and said her boyfriend had shot her and taken their children out of the home, per Police Chief Wayne Smith’s statement on Monday.
Christina Snow’s home appears to be about two streets away from that of Shamar Elkins’ wife, Shaneiqua Pugh. He and Pugh were legally married at the time of the shootings. However, they were reportedly due in court on Monday, one day after the shooting, pending a separation Pugh allegedly requested.
It’s unclear whether the wife and alleged girlfriend were aware of one another. Several of their children overlap in ages. Pugh and Shamar shared four daughters, 7-year-old Layla Pugh, 6-year-old Kayla Pugh, 5-year-old Shayla Elkins and 3-year-old Jayla Elkins. Shamar fatally shot all four daughters, and his wife’s 10-year-old nephew, Mar’Kaydon Pugh, who had been staying at their marital home on West 79th Street. In total, 8 children died at that location, with police finding seven bodies inside and one body on the home’s roof.
Also, Shamar reportedly shot most of the kids in the head, including while several of them were asleep. Meanwhile, Shaneiqua Pugh suffered a gunshot wound to the face and remains hospitalized, per NBC. Additionally, a teenager whose relation is unclear survived. However, the teen suffered injuries after falling off the home’s roof during the shooting.
Christina Snow’s Cousin Talks About Her Condition And Shamar’s Relationship With His Kids
Jamarckus Snow spoke to NBC News on Tuesday, calling the Louisiana mass shooting “devastating.” The cousin revealed that, per Christina’s mother, Shamar Elkins shot Christina in the face and the bullet went through her nose. The bullet remains lodged in her face, per Jamarckus, who said doctors didn’t want to risk surgery.
While Christina can speak, she is allegedly experiencing memory issues and sometimes forgets that her three children recently died. He claimed that she woke up on Monday and said, “I got to get my kids ready for school,” seemingly forgetting what had happened. “One day, she’ll know and the next day, she’s thinking her kids is still there,” Jamarckus shared, per convos with Christina’s mom.
“All she worked for was her kids and all she talked about was her kids,” Jamarckus Snow said.
Snow’s cousin clarified to NBC News that he didn’t know much about her relationship with Elkins. However, he recalled that Shamar had previously attended family gatherings, though that hadn’t been the case in years. Still, the cousin claimed he’d see Shamar in the neighborhood from time to time.
“He would distance himself from people, like he wasn’t the person that would just come out and talk to you. He would sit to himself or he would go sit in the car,” Jamarckus shared with NBC. Also adding, “The times I did see him or I did go by her house or something, he had the kids…He spent time with them, he was there for them. I can’t say that he didn’t love his kids because he did. It was unexpected.”
