Status: Incarcerated
In Season 22, episode 5, Oxygen's
Snapped, the story of Tameshia Shelton is shown
This does not end well for Daniel Young
as they end up dead in the state of Mississippi.
Tameshia Shelton was convicted by a jury of the murder.
The show is described as: A young man
ends up dead while out hunting; investigating whether this is a case
of an accidental shooting, or if there is a more sinister explanation
Shelton claimed to have heard one shot shortly after Young left her house. She alleged that she searched for Young, calling his name. According to Shelton, she found Young ten to fifteen yards from the driveway, lying face-down in the grass under a large tree. She claimed that Young was grunting. Shelton immediately called 911 and remained on the phone until officers responded to the scene. She reported the incident to the 911 dispatcher as “an accidental shooting” and mentioned—several times—that Young had intended to shoot a raccoon.
Tutton—still at her mother's house—heard the gunshot but thought the sound was a firecracker exploding. It was not until a neighbor informed Tutton's mother of a shooting in Mhoon Valley that Tutton knew the sound had been a gunshot. Tutton drove to her sister's house on the back driveway because her sister owned a black Mustang car, and the neighbor said that it was mentioned on the police scanner. After looking in Shelton's house, Tutton saw Shelton standing in the road. Shelton told Tutton that Young had been shot. Tutton found Young in the grass and “went crazy.” She screamed and pulled her hair and clothing. Tutton remembered hearing sirens shortly after this.
