Ahylea Michelle Willard, 32, was found shot to death in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 23, 2022. Her body was discovered near a wooded area at the Heritage Apartments on Snow Lane by several residents; wet blood was reported at the scene. Jewelry and her Mercedes Benz C250 (North Carolina plate TJV-4843) were taken after the killing, and the vehicle was entered into NCIC in connection with the murder.

A Facebook Live video circulated after the discovery showing multiple people gathered around Ahylea’s body, with some discussing stealing her gold belt and jewelry; when police arrived, her jewelry was missing. On November 28, 2022, 27-year-old Tyquawon Parker was arrested in Guilford County and charged with murder, robbery and related offenses in connection with Ahylea’s death.

Ahylea was a licensed hairstylist and esthetician who ran a small business brand called Lea’s Luxuries offering hair, nails, eyelashes and apparel. Does anyone have information about Ahylea’s last known movements or the Mercedes Benz TJV-4843?
