Tamisha Evette Meesha Ridge, a 31-year-old resident of Sacramento, California, tragically lost her life on May 14, 2014. Known for her vibrant personality and passion for fashion design, Tamisha was a beloved YouTube personality who shared her sewing and fashion tips with a large online following. Her untimely death was a result of a fatal shooting, which authorities quickly identified as a case of domestic violence.
On the morning of May 14, 2014, Tamisha was found dead in her home, having been shot while she slept. The Sacramento County Coroner's Office confirmed that she died from gunshot wounds. The investigation revealed that her ex-boyfriend, Dameshlo Green, was the primary suspect. Green, who had a tumultuous on-and-off relationship with Tamisha for over a decade, had a history of abusive behavior. In the days leading up to the murder, Green had flown from Texas to Sacramento and made multiple attempts to contact Tamisha, expressing his desire to reconcile and accusing her of betrayal. When Tamisha rejected his advances, Green's obsessive behavior escalated.
On the night of the murder, Green entered Tamisha's home through an unlocked door and shot her at close range while she was asleep. Several family members, including Tamisha's three children, were present in the house at the time of the shooting. Following the incident, Green turned himself in to the police for a parole violation and was subsequently charged with homicide. The case garnered significant media attention, highlighting the dangers of domestic violence and the tragic loss of a young mother and talented designer.
In February 2018, Dameshlo Green was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 75 years to life in prison. The court also found him guilty of possessing a firearm as a felon, adding to his lengthy sentence. The conviction brought some measure of justice to Tamisha's family and friends, who had been devastated by her senseless death. Tamisha's legacy continues to live on through her YouTube channel and the many lives she touched with her creativity and kindness.
