Tacara Lashon Moton-Wynn was 27 when she was found fatally shot on the night of Thursday, March 17, 2022, in the 3500 block of McKenzie Avenue at the McKenzie Court apartment complex in Tuscaloosa. Officers arrived after a shooting call around 11 p.m. and discovered Moton with a fatal gunshot wound; authorities treated her death as a homicide that appeared related to domestic issues.

A 38-year-old man named Jonathan Lawayne Peebles, reportedly in a romantic relationship with Moton, was taken into custody at the scene and later charged with manslaughter after the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit processed the scene, collected evidence, and interviewed witnesses. Moton was a mother to a young daughter and was remembered by family as someone who loved to dance, shop, and spend time with friends and relatives. Funeral services were held March 26, 2022, at Christ Baptist Church, with burial at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery.
