Tiarra Tasha Seals, 22, of Columbus, Ohio, was fatally shot on November 21, 2018, around 4:30 a.m. as she was getting into a car with two coworkers in front of the home where she lived on Argyle Drive. The father of her two young children, Leo N. Stanford Jr., carried out an ambush attack; Seals’ coworkers Dreamma Lynn Montgomery and Dwayne Thomas Madison were injured. Montgomery suffered severe injuries and has been bedridden in a nursing home since the shooting.

The only witness was Seals’ then 15-year-old brother, Arthur Seals, who identified Stanford as the gunman. Prosecutors relied heavily on that testimony and evidence of the rocky relationship between Stanford and Seals; the two had recently separated and Seals had moved out to live with her father. Stanford was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted murder, and firing a gun on a public roadway and received life without parole.

Anyone who knew Tiarra, her whereabouts that morning, or who has information about the attack is asked to come forward.
