Black crime: A woman has been shot dead by her boyfriend at her daughter’s eighth grade graduation

Takesha Barnes was with family members at Westview High School in Avondale, Arizona for the ceremony. She had run from the hall to her car after being told that her long term boyfriend Thomas Lamont Moton was on his way to the graduation. Moton arrived, pulled up alongside her car and fired several shots through her window, hitting her in the stomach. The 33-year-old mother-of-three was flown to hospital in a critical condition and later died from her injuries.
