Tiffany Wilson

Tiffany Nicole Wilson was a 24-year-old mother in Memphis, Tennessee, whose life was described as being full of love for her son, Bryson. A fundraiser established in her memory called her an "amazing mother," noting the lifetime of memories her child would miss out on after her life was abruptly ended.

On the evening of June 6, 2020, an argument turned deadly at the Canterbury Woods Apartments in the Cordova area. According to the Shelby County District Attorney’s office, a woman named Annesha Jackson went to the apartment of her child's father on Edmondshire Court. She was reportedly angry that he had not answered his door earlier. An argument escalated into a physical fight, during which Jackson pulled a pistol from her purse and fired at the man.

The shot missed its intended target. Instead, the bullet struck Tiffany Wilson, a Black woman who was the man’s girlfriend. She was standing nearby, holding a one-year-old baby in her arms when she was shot in the head. The child was not physically injured. Emergency services rushed Tiffany to Regional One hospital, but she died from her injuries.

Investigators with the Memphis Police Department quickly identified Annesha Jackson, then 23, as the person responsible for the shooting. According to a police affidavit, the man who was targeted identified Jackson as the shooter, and police determined she had started the altercation. Jackson was arrested and charged in connection with Tiffany’s death.

In October 2020, a Shelby County grand jury indicted Annesha Jackson on multiple felony counts, including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, employment of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony, and reckless endangerment. As of that indictment, the case was proceeding through the legal system.
