In a harrowing tragedy that has haunted North Lauderdale, Florida, for over seven years, the brutal murders of 48-year-old Tamiko Williams and her 15-year-old daughter, Jada Allen, remain unsolved. On January 28, 2017, the peaceful family home was shattered by violence when an intruder entered while they slept and unleashed a torrent of gunfire, claiming the lives of both mother and daughter in an act that has left the community reeling.
The nightmare unfolded just after 5 a.m. when Tamiko’s youngest daughter, terrified, called 911 after hearing gunshots and her mother’s desperate screams. Responding deputies found Tamiko gravely wounded but still alive, while Jada lay lifeless nearby. The scene was horrific: a loving home transformed into a site of unimaginable loss. Despite immediate medical attention, Tamiko succumbed to her injuries shortly after.
As investigators delved into the case, chilling revelations surfaced. The absence of forced entry suggested that the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er was someone familiar to the victims, raising unsettling questions about trust and betrayal. With no signs of robbery, the brutality of the crime painted a picture of calculated violence, leaving authorities grappling for leads in a case that has grown cold over the years.
Despite extensive investigations, interviews, and a renewed push for information—with a reward now soaring to $110,000—the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er remains at large, and the answers elude both law enforcement and the grieving family. Community vigils continue, highlighting the urgent need for justice in a case that serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of violence.
As the eighth anniversary of this tragic event approaches, the calls for information grow louder. Anyone with even the smallest detail could hold the key to unlocking this haunting mystery. The lives of Tamiko and Jada, filled with love and potential, were stolen far too soon, and their family deserves closure. The hunt for justice continues, and the community stands united, determined to bring their 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er to account. If you have any information, please contact the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
