Quintasia Tate, 19, was shot to death outside her Chattanooga apartment at the Rainbow Creek Apartments on Shallowford Road late on August 26, 2019. She was a mother of three and was 16 weeks pregnant with her fourth child when a message on Facebook Messenger lured her outside. The final message she received read Walkn up.

JeMichael Powell, 27, whom Tate knew, was waiting in the dark. After the shooting he fled in Tate’s orange Nissan Altima. A witness later reported seeing Powell driving the car and said they heard him admit to the shooting, leading to his arrest on September 18, 2019. Powell was charged with criminal homicide and unlawful possession of a firearm, pleaded guilty to the murder of Tate and her unborn child, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with a possible additional five years on a federal firearm charge.

Tate’s family expressed that the sentence did not match the loss they suffered. Does anyone have information about Quintasia’s life, the night of August 26, 2019, or details that could help piece together what happened?
