Black 'gang member' charged in teen's burning death
Jessica Chambers, 19, left to die beside Mississippi road in 2014
Published: 18 hours ago
More than a year after the crime, police have charged a man in the burning death of a 19-year-old Mississippi woman, Jessica Chambers.
Quinton Tellis, 27, was arrested and charged with murder after investigators found he was likely the last person to see Chambers before her death, in December 2014. Tellis and Chambers had reportedly been in a brief relationship just prior to her death, and had a past that included simultaneous attendance at South Panola High School, the Jackson Clarion-Ledger reported.
Authorities also have reason to believe Tellis is a member of the Insane Vice Lords street gang.
Quinton Tellis’ Facebook page
The Mississippi Association of Gang Investigators uses a list of validation criteria to document members of “security threat groups” or gangs, reported the newspaper.
And although law enforcement has no public record of a gang affiliation for him, in public photos and posts on Tellis’ Facebook page, he validates himself by MAGI standards.
The Daily Mail reported Tellis was indicted by a special grand jury for her death, at a time when he was already in police custody over an investigation into a stabbing death of a Taiwanese exchange student in Louisiana.
Chambers was last seen on surveillance video leaving a convenience store. She was discovered near death, her body wet with gasoline that had been poured on her vehicle and badly burned, alongside her Kia Rio sedan on a road in Mississippi. She was taken to a hospital but died within hours.
WJTV reported at the time that her mother, who was able to speak with Chambers before her death, reported the girl saying the man’s name “Eric” more than a dozen times, as if identifying her killer.
Colin Flaherty's book, “Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry: The Hoax of Black Victimization and Those Who Enable It,” documents black crime in America and exposes how the media and politicians are willing partners in what the author calls "the greatest lie of our generation."
Police then spent more than a year investigating, and on Tuesday, arrested and charged Tellis with her murder.
Tellis is also facing charges he used credit cards belonging to the murdered Taiwanese woman, age 34, who was found stabbed to death in her Louisiana apartment in August 2015. He's accused of spending about $1,000 on the card, the Daily Mail reported.
Ben Chambers said of his daughter's death and the arrest of Tellis, the local WMC Action News5 reported: "Nothing will ever bring her back, but closure [is necessary]."
The investigation of her death actually led police and federal agents to arrest 17 suspected gang members for unrelated charges, as reported by WND.
