Roshainah Tompkins was an 18-year-old recent Hempstead High School graduate from Prairie View, Texas, who was murdered on July 25, 2021. A friend who could not reach her alerted authorities, and a blood trail at the Crescent Pointe Apartments in College Station led officers to her body inside the apartment of her ex-boyfriend, Tarod London. Tompkins had suffered a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators found London’s car containing an AR-15 rifle with Tompkins’ blood in the passenger seat and floorboard. Prosecutors presented cell tower data and traffic camera footage to place London before and after the killing. London claimed self-defense; the jury rejected that claim and convicted him of murder. He was sentenced to life in prison on May 6, 2024.

Tompkins’ family described her as sweet, kind, and loving, close to her brother, children, and cousins. For anyone who knew Roshainah or has information about her final movements, can you share what you remember?
