On the evening of August 11, 2023, 23-year-old Honesty Holloway Wilkerson was shot and killed outside a residence on Ponderosa Drive South in Semmes, Alabama, after a dispute that reportedly began on social media. The argument involved 22-year-old Curtellius Denise Tapaingea James; witnesses say James returned to the home with two others to find her belongings in the yard and her vehicle vandalized with keyed paint and four flat tires. Honesty and her 14-year-old sister, Germany Holloway-Wilkerson, arrived and a verbal confrontation followed that escalated into gunfire.

Authorities say James allegedly armed herself with a shotgun and shot Honesty in the chest, killing her at the scene. Germany fled but was pursued and reportedly shot in the right thigh; she was found injured at a neighbor’s house. Semmes police discovered Honesty’s body and later in custody took James, who was charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder and booked into the Mobile Metro Jail.
