Latasha S. Tennill Tomlin, 44, was killed on August 31, 2021, in Elm City, North Carolina while trying to move out of the home she shared with her boyfriend, Adrian Tynrell Horne. An argument during the move turned violent when Horne opened fire, killing Tomlin and her 21-year-old son, Raekwon Tyleek Williams. Tomlin’s 18-year-old daughter, Fredia Williams, and Raekwon’s 18-year-old girlfriend, Lakiyah Williams, were also shot; Fredia was reported in critical condition after being shot eight times and Lakiyah was recovering from a gunshot wound to her back.

Authorities say Adrian Tynrell Horne, 43, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder, among other charges. Horne fled the scene in a black Buick sedan with Tomlin and Raekwon’s 8-month-old child; the vehicle was later found abandoned in southern Edgecombe County with Tomlin’s body inside and the infant unharmed. Timothy Horne was arrested and charged with four counts of accessory after the fact for allegedly assisting Adrian Horne’s escape.

Family members said Latasha had been in an abusive relationship with Horne and relatives had tried to intervene. Does anyone have information about Latasha, her children, or the events on London Church Road that could help clarify what happened?
