On the evening of June 22, 2018, 21-year-old Tatiana Wells was shot in a room at the Days Inn on Emmet Street in Charlottesville, Virginia. Police responding to a call about a gunshot victim found Wells with a gunshot wound; she was taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center and pronounced dead.

A witness reported hearing an argument followed by gunshots. A man later came out of the room and said he had accidentally shot his girlfriend; 23-year-old Xavier Grant Murphy, the father of Wells’ daughter, was taken into custody at the scene. Murphy was initially charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Court testimony later described an argument between Murphy and Wells before a fatal shot was fired from his 9mm semi-automatic; Murphy said he did not intend to shoot her.

Prosecutors and defense counsel reached a resolution in which Murphy pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and firing a gun in an occupied building. Does anyone have information about Tatiana’s last hours or knew where she and her daughter were living at the time?
