Tavyiah TiTi King was 16 and a sophomore at Evans High School when she was shot and killed in Orlando on May 2, 2021. She was leaving a party with friends and riding in a car near a Wawa on John Young Parkway around 3 a.m. when the shooting occurred. Rushed to Arnold Palmer Hospital, she died of her injuries. Her mother, Alisha Rodriguez, said Tavyiah was not the intended target.

Two arrests followed the investigation. Jacarious Jermaine Jevonte Simpson, 18 at the time, was charged with third-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm; he was arrested in late May 2021. Anthony Barnes, 17 at the time, was arrested in Las Vegas in June 2021 and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm. The case has drawn attention in part because Tavyiah was the niece of Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill, who has called for community action to address gun and gang violence.

If anyone knew Tavyiah, was at the party that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
