She was originally from California.
She graduated from Florida A&M University with a nursing degree.
She left behind a young son.
Tucker had been dating Charles Carson-Dowdy since around October 2024.
During their relationship, Carson-Dowdy used cellular phones, the internet, and a ridesharing service as part of a pattern intended to harass and intimidate Tucker.
In late December 2024, Tucker traveled to California to visit family for the holidays.
While she was there, the couple had a series of escalating arguments through text messages.
On January 1, 2025, Tucker returned to Florida.
She attempted to end the relationship with Carson-Dowdy through text messages.
Carson-Dowdy then ordered an Uber and traveled approximately 60 miles from Mobile to Tucker’s home in Pensacola.

He shot her approximately 10 more times at close range.
Carson-Dowdy then got into Tucker’s vehicle.
He deliberately drove over her body multiple times.
He fled the scene in Tucker’s vehicle.
But a short time later, law enforcement located Carson-Dowdy in Spanish Fort, Alabama, after the vehicle developed a flat tire.
The handgun used to kill Tucker was recovered from inside the vehicle.

His plea included murder through use of a firearm.
It included cyberstalking.
It included interstate domestic violence.
It also included possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
On August 25, 2026, Carson-Dowdy was sentenced to life in prison.
