The Tragic Murder of 15-Year-Old Girl in Harrison Twp
A Dayton man, Tommy Lee Moreland, has been indicted for murder in the heartbreaking death of a 15-year-old girl in Harrison Twp. This shocking incident took place on the morning of November 17, 2023, when Heaven Washington lost her life due to multiple gunshot injuries.
The Fateful Day in Harrison Twp
The incident unfolded at the intersection of Turner Road and Philadelphia Avenue, a quiet neighbourhood in Harrison Twp. Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies rushed to the scene upon receiving reports of a shooting. The victim, later identified as Heaven Washington, was swiftly taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where she was sadly pronounced dead.
The Tragic Turn of Events
Heaven Washington, who was temporarily in the custody of Montgomery County Children Services, was in a car driven by a group home staff member. They were on their way to withdraw money from an ATM for Washington’s school field trip when tragedy struck. A vehicle reportedly rented by Moreland pulled up alongside their car and unleashed a barrage of bullets, resulting in the untimely death of the innocent teenager.
A Callous Act of Violence
Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. condemned Moreland’s actions, stating that he callously took the life of a completely innocent girl over a trivial argument with another man. To compound the tragedy, Moreland attempted to cover up his heinous crime. As a result, he now faces charges of murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence.
Justice for Heaven Washington
Tommy Lee Moreland is currently held on a $1 million cash bail in the Montgomery County Jail as he awaits his arraignment. The community mourns the loss of Heaven Washington and seeks justice for the senseless violence that took her life. May her memory be honoured, and may justice prevail for this young soul taken too soon.
