Marlacia ’Laci’ Chanel Kitchen was a 17-year-old from Tallahassee remembered by family as ambitious, sophisticated and mature beyond her years. She had graduated high school at 16 and hoped to attend Florida A&M University. Her grandmother called her a little ride-or-die who had big dreams and big ideas.

On October 24, 2022, Marlacia was shot and killed while sitting inside a car in the parking lot of the Savoy at Southwood apartment complex in Tallahassee. The killing devastated her family, who described their shock and disbelief.

Investigators arrested Marlacia’s ex-boyfriend, Jibril Griffin, and by November 2022 he was facing a homicide charge in connection with her death.

If anyone knew Marlacia, her routines, or saw activity at the Savoy at Southwood on October 24, 2022, please share what you know.
