Tynikkia Tyshelle Tanner, 21, was found dead in her Jacksonville apartment at Vista Landing (formerly Cleveland Arms) on October 6, 2018. Her boyfriend, Dontonieo Davontez Veron Sapp-Denson, initially told investigators she had shot herself, but the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the Medical Examiner concluded the circumstances were consistent with homicide rather than suicide.

Sapp-Denson, 24 at the time, was charged with second-degree murder and evidence tampering. Neighbors and acquaintances reported he had threatened Tanner, saying that if he couldn’t have her, no one else would. The couple had a child together, and Tanner had recently ended the relationship and was trying to move on. Sapp-Denson’s bond was set at $1.1 million; he had prior arrests for domestic battery, grand theft, and illegal possession of a concealed weapon.

What information about Tanner’s last days, the apartment scene, or the people who knew her might help bring clarity to what happened?
