track 93: Tynesha Stewart
Summary: Tynesha Stewart was an honors student throughout high school and graduated in the top 3% of her class. Talk about black excellence! Unsurprisingly, she had scholarship offers to multiple colleges and ultimately decided to attend Texas A&M University, which was only 2 hours away. Tynesha was on the verge of completing her second semester in college when tragedy struck. Law enforcement describes this case as one of the most gruesome ones they've seen in their careers. Who could commit such a heinous crime against Tynesha? Unfortunately, the answer lurks devastatingly close to home.
