A sense of profound loss settled over a Henrico, Virginia community in the days following November 23, 2016. On that day, Tammy Jo Clifton, a 42-year-old female, was found deceased in her home on Engel Road. A graduate of Douglas Freeman High School and a former employee of Anthem, she was a devoted mother to her three children. Her life was violently cut short by multiple gunshot wounds, an act that shattered the peace of her quiet suburban neighborhood and left a family to navigate a future
without her.
The grim discovery of Tammy Jo Clifton's body was preceded by a series of unsettling events. Her fiancé, William Davis Tiller, had driven their children to a relative's house. It was there that the children tragically revealed that their mother was dead. This heartbreaking disclosure prompted an immediate call to law enforcement. When Henrico County police arrived at the Clifton home, they were met with a scene that confirmed the children's devastating account, initiating a homicide investigation.
The focus of the investigation quickly centered on William Davis Tiller. The evidence gathered by detectives led to his arrest in connection with the death of his fiancée. Tiller was subsequently charged with murder, and the legal proceedings against him commenced. The community was left to grapple with the reality that a relationship that was supposed to culminate in marriage had instead ended in a senseless act of violence, leaving behind a grieving family and a legacy of sorrow. The specific details regarding the outcome of the charges against William Davis Tiller, including any trial, conviction, or sentencing, are not available in publicly accessible online records.
