LOS ANGELES - "How does a 16-year-old girl end up shot on the side of the freeway, and there’s little community outrage?" asked the family of Tioni Theus.

California Highway Patrol officers found her lifeless body on the side of the 110 Freeway Manchester off-ramp in South Los Angeles, on January 8.

"We still don’t know more than we did 11 days ago," said Rashida Kincy, who has been spearheading outreach to media, asking for help.

Theus was last seen January 7, by her dad, when she told him she was meeting a friend to go to a party. The 16-year-old had been staying with dad, since her mother was placed in an assisted living facility, to recuperate from a serious hit-and-run.

The straight-A student, according to family members, who loved dance and was pretty good at golf, started hanging out with friends her dad didn’t know. It was an Instagram friend, he told investigators, that she was supposedly going to a party with on the Friday before her body was found.

"Who does this to a 16-year-old girl, leaving her dumped on the side of the freeway like garbage?" said family members.

FOX 11 has reached out to the CHP for more information on the investigation and is still waiting to be provided additional details.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - "I had a feeling something was wrong, I begged her to stay," says Darien Jackson, the father of Tioni Theus.

Jackson's daughter was found shot to death with her body found dumped on the side of the Manchester onramp to the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles.

Jackson saw his daughter the night before the body was found. He had told her before she left the house to consider not going to the party she was set to attend.

According to the teen's father, Theus had been down since her mother was placed in a rehabilitation facility after she was seriously hurt in a hit-and-run crash. The teen left for the party on the night of Friday, January 7 with a friend who messaged her on Instagram.

Drivers reported the teen's body to CHP on Sunday at about 8 a.m. Investigators say they don’t know how long the body had been there, but believe she was shot in the neck somewhere else, and then left on the side of the freeway.

"Who does that?!" says Jackson, adding that "A parent shouldn’t be burying their child."

The news of his daughter's horrific death comes about four years after Jackson had to bury his 19-year-old son Darien Jackson Jr. The grieving dad says Darien Jr. was leaving work to see his girlfriend when he was shot and killed.

"I still don't know why," Jackson says of his son's death.

Investigators on Tioni’s case are following leads, but asking anyone with information to call 323-644-9557.

There has been criticism that this case has not received the same attention as other recent murders in the news.

"This investigation is top priority," insists CHP officer Roberto Gomez.

As of Thursday, there are no surveillance videos of suspects in cases like that of Brianna Kupfer, who was killed in a Hancock Park furniture store where she worked. The arrest of that suspect has received a lot of coverage. Here in South Los Angeles and Inglewood, community activists like Najee Ali from Project Hope say they are hoping that Theus’ case is getting as much attention from investigators.

Jackson Sr. puts it this way, "If I were a rich man, perhaps her killer would be in custody, who knows? But I did talk to the CHP detective, and he is telling me he is giving it his all, and I trust he is."

He has to, he explains. His sanity depends on the investigation after losing two of his children.

"I don't know if I can take it," he said. "I have no more left in me."
I typed Tioni Theus and Instagram to look at her content and this is what I found. It looks like the same girl. She has the same facial features.

I wanted to see her friends on Instagram since that's who she went to meet up for the party she went to before she was murdered. Well, that's the story they're telling us like she's a straight-A student and she plays golf. I was very surprised to find this information after believing how they portrayed her. 😢 (emphasis mine)

I took this screenshot for the surrounding area where she was murdered. On the upper right hand corner you will see the date range of these crimes are from December 26, 2021 to January 22, 2022. The letter H stands for Homicide aka murder and the letter S stands for Sex Crime as in rape. There have been 8 homicides and 5 rapes committed in the past 4 weeks in the immediate area where her body was found.  I'm wondering if there would be this much attention to her murder if her body had been found in an alley? Murder is common in this area. How many of the crimes committed in this area have been solved? How many prostitutes have been murdered in this area?

This 16-year-old was holding a gun in one of the videos she uploaded on her Instagram. The neck area is an odd place to be shot. Did the bullet enter her neck through the front, side, or back? Maybe and I mean maybe she accidentally shot herself showing off her gun to her friends? or she was caught in a drive-by shooting? and her freaked-out friends dumped her body on the side of the freeway where there are no cameras. Does the bullet match the gun she owned? Was she with a gang? Why aren't the family members and community organizers walking the area she frequented and ask the women there questions about her. They can ask for anonymous tips that can help in the investigation. Why has no one mentioned they contacted the people who were following her and who she was following on Instagram. Have investigators requested her private messages on her Instagram account? Her dad said she went to a party with a friend from Instagram. Did she own a cell phone? There has to be evidence on her cell phone as in calls and text messages that may help solve her murder case. Did she use an email address? Did she own a computer or laptop or tablet? I mean, come one. She must have had at least a cell phone where she communicated with the killer or killers. You don't even need to have her phone, investigators can request these records. Bottom line, I am not judging her. I'm just asking questions that can help solve this crime. I truly hope she gets justice and the monster who murdered her is captured. That is what I'm hoping for.
