Tarasha Yata Townsend, 37, was killed on August 29, 2014, at a family home in Brooksville, Florida. A mother to five daughters and a stepdaughter, she was described as devoted to her family and faith; her death left a deep impact on relatives and friends.

The shooting was part of a spree carried out by her boyfriend, George Mason III. The attack also killed Mason’s grandmother, Jannie V. Taylor, and his half-brother, Ralph Peyton. Another half-brother, Gabriel Bo Taylor, was seriously wounded after being chased and shot multiple times but survived. Mason reportedly attempted to flee and was struck by a passing vehicle, sustaining several broken bones before his arrest; the motive was reported as a desire for revenge.
