One thing is for certain, murder victim Shaquilla Weatherspoon wasn’t hurting for male attention.
But on Monday night’s ATL Homicide, we see she was killed by either her husband rumored to be abusive and controlling or her married lover who was said to be filled with jealousy.
Her husband, Roy Lewis McKinney, likely had a strong rage and anger motive over her affair with Brown to kill his wife, Shaquilla.
It was McKinney who reported Ms. Weatherspoon, then 29, missing in 2002. He was ultimately sentenced for her killing in 2005.
But was it Roy who did the deed?
Five days after she was reported missing by Roy is when her decomposing body was discovered in the woodlands off Atlanta’s Greenbriar Parkway.
The medical examiner reportedly had a hard time determining her cause of death. To the detectives arriving first on the crime scene, her corpse looked staged, making it appear to be purely a robbery gone wrong.
Watch the Latest on our YouTube ChannelIt gets more convoluted as it comes out in law enforcement interviews that Shaquilla and Roy were in an “open marriage” and that each person had affairs. But the man she was allegedly having the affair with at the time of her death was Tony Brown. He was married, too, and was allegedly an irrationally jealous person.
Detectives Quinn and Velazquez investigate those closest to her to find the killer. But sifting through the odd assortment of evidence the killer had placed around her body made the crime almost as bizarre as the life she led.
Was it rape or was it something else? One thing is for certain, Shaquilla Weatherspoon’s life of secrets and intense personal relationships with the wrong men guaranteed her an early grave.
