Teresa Jenkins‑Self was 29 and eight months pregnant when she was shot to death in her North Charleston apartment on September 2, 2022. A licensed practical nurse and mother of two, she was described by friends and family as nurturing and outgoing. Earlier that day she called 911 asking officers to remove her husband from the home; the call ended abruptly.

Officers found Teresa unresponsive on the couch with multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Her two children were located unharmed in a back bedroom. Police arrested her husband, 25‑year‑old Javerick Devonta Tyrell Self, later that morning; he was charged with two counts of murder, including a count for the unborn child, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. He was denied bond and the case was presented to a grand jury; the matter remains pending in Charleston County court.

If anyone knew Teresa, her routines, or has information about what happened that day, please share what you know with the discussion.
