A Christmas Day gathering in Como, Mississippi, ended in tragedy for Tavashia Jamil Hale. The 27-year-old mother of three had traveled from Byhalia to attend a holiday celebration on Old Panola Road in Panola County. She was struck by gunfire in the 15300 block of the road and died at the scene after being hit about a dozen times.

Hale, known as 3 Tee, was a 2009 graduate of H.W. Byers High School, a praise dancer at Mt. Pisgah CME Church in Cayce and worked as a cashier at a Domino’s Pizza in Collierville, Tennessee. The Panola County Sheriff’s Department opened a homicide investigation and arrested a 23-year-old man identified as Tevin Wink in connection with the killing; a murder charge was announced at the time.

Anyone who attended the gathering or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
