Police believe Tellieun Harvey shot Simpson multiple times, all while her kids were in that same apartment.
On Tuesday, Simpson was found dead in an apartment. At around 9:57 a.m., police responded to a welfare check at the Pacific Manor Apartments in the 7600 block of Pacific Avenue in Tacoma.
According to police, three young children called out to neighbors from their balcony that their mother was dead. “I was scared for the kids because who wants to hear a little 5-year-old say something like that,” said a neighbor named Amanda. “Honestly, I felt like my heart broke. I felt so bad.”“She loved her kids so much. And she loved music. She loved her family and she was loved. She didn’t deserve what this person did to her. The kids didn’t deserve to be in the presence of what was done to her. And whoever did it needs to be held accountable,” Thalia Simpson, the victim’s mother, said.
Thalia Simpson set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral costs, as well as buy some new items for her grandkids. She worries that items from their home may remind them of what they witnessed. “I know that every officer that has responded to this scene is grateful that the children are unharmed — physically, anyway,” Haddow said.
