Tahj said that on May 8th, he bought Jessica some guinea pigs for a Mother’s Day present, but she was upset with him for doing that because she was about to do an acrylic manicure at home.
Jessica was very concerned that the guinea pigs could be hurt by the smell of the manicure, and that’s what had made her mad that day.
On May 10th, that morning Jessica and Tahj were still arguing, and according to Tahj Jessica hit his head with a laptop before getting a knife from the kitchen.
Tahj wrestled her for control of the knife, before pinning her to the living room floor. He kneeled with his full weight on Jessica’s neck and back until she was no longer moving.

Tahj then got up, walked off to take care of their son, and left her there lying on the floor. Tahj left Jessica there for the remainder of the day. Meanwhile, Jessica’s loved ones were texting and calling him asking where she had gone. When night fell, Tahj put Jessica’s body in the trunk of his Jeep.
When Jessica’s family got to his house later that evening, he drove off with Jessica in the trunk, then dumped her in the woods. Tahj was arrested and charged with 1st-degree manslaughter for what he did to Jessica.
“More updates will be provided next week after conclusion of the autopsy. He is still being held on a million dollar bond,” the South Windsor Police Department shared in an update. If you would like to donate to the GoFundMe page created for Jessica, you can do so here.
