Pregnant woman slain
The family and friends of Shernelle Tolliver wept openly Friday afternoon as her pregnant body was carried out of her home by police.
Tolliver, 24, was found slain at 1425 Hale St. around 11:20 a.m. Friday. Her slaying is the 25th homicide in Montgomery this year.
Tolliver, who was six months pregnant, also shared her home with her six children, ages 8 months to 9 years, said her cousin, Shaneka Ford. The children were not home at the time of th
e homicide.
According to family members at the scene, Tolliver, nicknamed "Moo Moo," was found by her sister-in-law, who also lived with her.
nPolice were still searching Friday night for Tolliver's killer, as well as her vehicle, which was taken during the crime. The car, a blue 1987 Honda Accord LX, has Alabama tag number is 3B3450C.
Sgt. Keith Barnett, an investigator at the scene, declined to release the manner in which Tolliver was killed or if the police have any suspects. The initial police report does not state what weapon was used in the homicide.
Tolliver's family at the scene, including an aunt, cousins, and her father, were in shock over her death.
"I just don't really believe it right now," said Lakisha Ford, Tolliver's cousin and her manager at Sonic on Carter Hill Road. She described Tolliver, a carhop at the hamburger restaurant, as a good, friendly worker.
"Everybody liked her," Ford sa
id.
Employees at Sonic declined to comment on Tolliver's death Friday night.
Shaneka Ford, another of Tolliver's cousins, said the victim got off of work around 3 p.m. Thursday and her boyfriend, whose
name was not available, drove her home. The first indication that something was amiss came around midnight, when a worker from Thomas Day Care and Learning Center called her father, Connell Tolliver, to say his daughter had not picked up her children.
"That wasn't like her, not to pick up those kids," Shaneka Ford said.
The children were picked up by their grandfather, but it was only this morning that Shernelle Tolliver's body was found.
Connell Tolliver declined comment at the scene on his daughter's death.
Tolliver's extended family remember her fondly, despite the horror of her slaying.
"She was nice, good and responsible," Ford said. "She had six kids, but she kept all those kids clean, kep
t their
hair combed. She took good care of them."
Tolliver's mother, brother and sister were on their way to Montgomery from South Carolina Friday afternoon.
Her body was taken to the Department of Forensic Sciences for an autopsy, said Lt. Huey Thornton, a Montgomery Poli
ce Department spokesman.
