Tjhisha Ball, an 18-year-old from Tampa, Florida, was found dead on September 18, 2014, along with her friend, Angelia Mangum, on the side of a road in North Jacksonville. Both young women were discovered bound with zip ties, "hog-tied" and without clothing, which led authorities to classify the incident as a double murder. Witnesses described the discovery as horrifying, with the women appearing to have been thrown from an overpass.
Despite investigations, the case remains unsolved, and authorities are seeking any information that could lead to identifying the person or persons responsible.
The incident shocked the community and brought attention to the violence faced by young Black women. Law enforcement has appealed for public assistance, and rewards are available for tips leading to arrests. This case has highlighted the struggles faced by families who have lost loved ones to violence and the need for justice in such tragedies.
