Tiesha Nix, 40, known to family as Tee Tee Nix Stewart, was killed in a parking lot in New Orleans East on the night of Monday, December 3, 2012. She had driven to the 6800 block of Parc Brittany Boulevard after her daughter Renesha became involved in a heated confrontation with her estranged boyfriend, 22-year-old Keith Phillips. Witnesses told police Phillips turned and fired a single shot into Tiesha’s head, killing her almost instantly in the parking lot.

Renesha was also shot as she fled; she has said she was struck seven times and nearly died before surviving medical treatment. Phillips fled on foot, was publicly identified as the suspect, and surrendered to New Orleans police two days later. He was booked on one count of second-degree murder for Tiesha’s death and one count of attempted second-degree murder for the attack on Renesha.

Tiesha’s obituary describes her as the center of a large blended family, beloved by children and grandchildren. Renesha has disputed some public details about that night, clarifying who called for help and the circumstances as she experienced them. Does anyone have additional information about the events that night or about Tiesha’s life in New Orleans?
