KSU Women's Basketball Player Kamiyah Street Arrested on Murder Charges

Kennesaw State junior guard Kamiyah Street has been charged with felony murder in the July 16 shooting death of 21-year-old man Nashiem Hubbard-Etienne, according to Shaddi Abusaid of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Per that report, she was arrested on eight separate charges, including "three counts of felony murder, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, Fulton County jail records show."

Atlanta police spokesman James White said Hubbard-Etienne was "the victim of a targeted shooting" after his body was found in the parking deck of the Heritage Station apartments on McDaniel Street in Atlanta. 

According to Mark Niesse and Chelsea Prince of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, four other men—22-year-old Cortez Banks, 21-year-old Johnerton Gilstrap, 20-year-old Tobias Wells and 20-year-old Dontacus Brantley—have also been charged in the case.

Banks, Gilstrap and Wells were already in jail when they were charged, while Brantley remains at large. 

"My son was not who they were after, but like most situations, the innocent one always catches the bullet," Hubbard-Etienne's mother, Maiyannie Hubbard-Armster, told WSB-TV on Saturday (h/t Niesse and Prince). 

As for Street, she was suspended by Kennesaw State in the wake of the charges. 

"We were made aware Thursday evening that Kamiyah Street of the KSU women's basketball team was arrested and is being held, pending charges," the school said in a statement, per WSB-TV. "The individual has been suspended indefinitely from all women's basketball team and athletic activities. Neither the university nor the athletic department have any additional information at this time."

Street was the starting point guard for KSU.
