TikTok Influencer Mom Shot Dead In Front Of Her Child: Reports

TikTok influencer and mom of two Patricia Grooms was shot dead in South Carolina earlier this month, reportedly in the presence of one of her children. It is suspected that the man Grooms was dating at the time is allegedly behind the murder. One arrest has been made in the case, however, friends and family of the late influencer are not convinced. On social media, they are pushing to get Grooms justice.

Reports indicate that mystery surrounds Groom's death. The 32-year-old was found dead in a truck on November 12, as per The Independent. Police in Colleton County, which is presiding over the investigation in the case, arrested one accused, 38-year-old Billy Mclean Head III, and charged him with murder in Groom's case. He is presently being held at a detention centre.

Not many details of the case investigation have been made public and those seeking justice for Grooms are raising the issue of the police report being vague.

A public Facebook group 'Justice for Trish', which has over a thousand members and features posts by many of the deceased's relatives, claims she was shot and killed by her boyfriend who is "still free and walking" without consequences. The page further alleges "this isn’t his first time shooting someone."
