Tajan'a Monique Williams
Age 17
New Orleans, Louisiana
Loved NOLA’s culture, feared its crime
She was immersed in New Orleans’ culture. She loved the Second Line Parade, snowballs, crawfish, gumbo and family cookouts.
Those close to her knew her as “Tee Tee.” She was always respectful and was described as a funny person. Her city had a big place in her heart, but she was aware and afraid of the crime. Her solution: join the military and relocate her family.
On August 21, 2018, Tajan'a Monique Williams, 17, was found lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head in the Louisiana city she was working toward escaping.
