With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, the Bertie County community mourns the tragic and untimely loss of Tahlik Deloatch, a young man whose life was cut short far too soon. At just 27 years old, Tahlik’s passing has left an indescribable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.

On Saturday afternoon, just after 3:00 p.m., first responders were dispatched to what was initially reported as a vehicle accident on Harrell Siding Road near Highway 11. Upon arrival, EMS and fire personnel made a heartbreaking discovery—Tahlik was found unresponsive inside his vehicle, having suffered fatal gunshot wounds. Despite their efforts, he was pronounced deceased at the scene, marking a devastating end to a life filled with promise and potential.

Tahlik was more than a headline or a statistic. He was a son, a relative, a friend—someone whose presence mattered and whose absence is deeply felt. Those who knew him remember his spirit, his individuality, and the mark he left on the lives around him. His laughter, his dreams, and his future were stolen in a moment of senseless violence, leaving loved ones searching for answers and struggling to cope with overwhelming grief.

The Bertie County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NCSBI), continues to actively investigate the circumstances surrounding Tahlik’s death. Authorities have asked anyone who may have been traveling along Harrell Siding Road between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday—and who may have noticed a vehicle stopped along the roadside—to come forward. Any information, no matter how small it may seem, could be vital in bringing clarity and justice in this case. Tips can be shared with the sheriff’s office at 252-794-5330, and callers may remain anonymous.

As the investigation continues, Harrell Siding Road near Highway 11 remains closed, and officials urge the public to avoid the area out of respect for the ongoing efforts and the life lost there.

In this time of mourning, the community stands in solidarity with Tahlik Deloatch’s family, offering prayers, love, and support as they navigate an unimaginable loss. May his memory live on through the stories shared, the love he gave, and the legacy he leaves behind.

Rest in peace, Tahlik.

You are gone, but never forgotten.

With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, the North County St. Louis community is mourning the devastating loss of CrashOut Kj and another young woman following a fatal crash late Friday night in Moline Acres. What began as an ordinary evening ended in unimaginable heartbreak, leaving families shattered, loved ones praying for strength, and an entire community united in grief over lives taken far too soon.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Friday, January 2, on Route 367 at Chambers. The collision involved two vehicles and unfolded with sudden and tragic force. Investigators report that a Chrysler 300 lost control and crossed into southbound traffic, where it was struck by a Mazda 3, setting off a devastating chain of events.

A 26-year-old woman, a passenger in the Chrysler 300, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The loss was immediate and overwhelming. A second victim, a 22-year-old woman, who was driving the Mazda 3, suffered critical injuries and was rushed to a local hospital. Despite the tireless efforts of medical staff, she succumbed to her injuries Saturday morning, deepening the sorrow felt by all involved.

Four other occupants—three women and one man from both vehicles—remain hospitalized with serious injuries, continuing to fight for recovery as their families keep close watch, holding onto hope and faith during this painful time.

One of the victims has been identified by family as CrashOut Kj, a life remembered for more than the tragedy that claimed it. Loved ones now cling to memories, shared moments, and the impact CrashOut Kj had on those around him. Though words cannot ease the pain, his name and spirit will live on through those who loved him.

This tragic crash is a sobering reminder of how fragile life can be and how quickly everything can change. In a single moment, futures were altered and families were left to grieve losses that should never have happened. As the investigation continues, the community’s focus remains on honoring the lives lost and supporting those still battling to heal.

To the families and loved ones affected, we extend our deepest condolences. May you find comfort in one another, strength in community support, and peace in knowing your loved ones will never be forgotten. To the injured, we pray for healing, resilience, and recovery.

Please keep all families involved in your thoughts and prayers.

Gone too soon, forever remembered.

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we remember and honor the life of Cornelius Stuckey, a 33-year-old man whose life was tragically taken on January 3 following a shooting on Longwood Cove.
