On a cold October night in 2022 Ahylea Willard was shot dead while fleeing for her life.
Her body was found the next day, in the grass, behind an apartment building on Snow Lane in Charlotte.
A video was circulated on social media that showed several black kids gawking at Willard’s cold lifeless body. Some even joking about getting some gloves and then stealing her jewelry. Another young voice stating that he wasn't gonna touch a dead body and that "Five-Oh" was on the way.

In the days after her body was discovered, CMPD released photos of Willard’s Mercedes Benz that was stolen after she was killed.
Three weeks later Tyquawon Parker, 27, was arrested by the Guilford County Sheriff's Office on outstanding warrants for murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in connection with the shooting death of Ahylea Willard.
Parker was arrested through a joint investigation that included Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, Greensboro police and Guilford County deputies.
On November 21, 2022 Parker was indicted by a Mecklenburg County grand jury for the murder of Ahylea Willard as well as felon in possession of a firearm and armed robbery.
Parker has been held in the Mecklenburg County Jail since his arrest. His trial has been repeatedly postponed and is now set for December 31, 2025.
His defense attorney asked the court to set a bond so that he could be released but that request was denied. Parker remains held without bond.
The facts of the case are simple Parker armed with a 45 caliber handgun threaten Willard and demanded the keys to her car. When she ran, he chased her down shot her in the neck killin her. Parker then took her car keys and stole her car and fled the scene.
Parker had been previously convicted of 3 counts robbery with a dangerous weapon and a 1st degree burglary that he committed in 2016. He was released from prison in 2021 after 4 years and 10 months. He was released from parole one year later in June of 2022, less than six months before killing his victim.
Of his prior crimes he should have received a longer than ten year prison sentence and that would have spared Willard's life.
The case a languished in the Mecklenburg County Courts due to caseload and inefficiency. Distinct Attorney Spencer Merriweather has not made the case a low priority and only this past december did the court appointed defense attorney Robert Reeves make a request for an review of the GSR tested. That motion was granted.The trial date no listed at 12/31/2025 which is simply a punt into 2026 if not pressed by the defense attorney.
This is where cases go to die and eventually be dismissed.Odds are that Parker like many Charloot's most dangerous felons will be back on the streets before long.
Cedar's Take: Incarceration saves lives.
The case against him is weak. The DA can't get a jury of blacks to convict any brother on trial. The black community is just that f*cked up. Might as well cut him loose and let the ferrals deal with him.
ReplyDeleteNoogies are just zoo animals that have escaped out of their cages. Just listen to them laugh about a dead body. No remorse no sadness no one offered to cover her up or call the police. They are on an entirely different level of mental awareness than white kids.
ReplyDeleteLike so many of these cases as soon as the next body drops everyone forgets about this victim.
ReplyDeleteHaha I remember this video about stealing her jewelry. Good job detectives to find the killer.
ReplyDeleteThe video is crazy. Listen to these little wanna be thugs and hoodrats. To view the video just click on the above image.
ReplyDeleteWhy them niggas snitching on him?
ReplyDeleteCharlotte has always been violent. You can’t make any sense of it.
ReplyDeleteHow long until those new recruits look like Sloppy Joe?
ReplyDeleteSgt Mccarity has done more for CMPD than any of our brass and paper champions.
DeleteI’m shocked anyone would sign up for this place, anymore. LinkedIn literally has like 100 CMPD cops with “looking for work” banners.

DeleteWhat happened to speedy trial laws?
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t mean what you think it means dawg
DeleteThe truth is no one in the city or CMPD care about each other. This case will get dropped and the killer will kill again.
ReplyDeleteSpencer needs a death penalty case this guy won the lottery plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteBut Crime is Down! Uptown is Safe!
ReplyDeleteCrime is down because no one goes to uptown. People are afraid to call 911. Also, the city manager busted JJ lying about stats.
DeleteLook at what has come back from RoMo days, "unauthorized use" LoL they think taxpayers are stupid.
DeleteSpill the tea
DeleteCrime is DOWN?
ReplyDeleteA crazy homeless guy just tried to fight me downtown. 2 yes 2 patrol cars with blue lights are sitting there.(3 cops total) None of them even jumped out to question him or check for 99s.
Just wait until the weather gets hotter.
City council.CMPD,County commisioners,all studying how to lower the crime rate and make people feel safer. Here is a really crazy idea.After CMPD makes an arrest,the DA actually prosecutes the suspect.I know that is crazy but just try it.It just may work.I came on back in 73 and retired 2000.During that whole time,the one thing that was constant and never ever changed was the DA never ever having enough people or other resources to try the suspects according to the DA office.It is never ever going to change not now,not ever.It is a damn shame.
ReplyDeleteYea, but could you wear the Sloppy Joe flip flop uniform then? Who needs take homes when you can kick around in shorts
DeleteWhy is the black community so welcoming and okay with violence?
ReplyDeleteBecause being nice got us no where
