Jeremy Haywood, 27, beat his girlfriend to death and got to spend his Thanksgiving in jail.
On Tuesday November 25, Haywood got into an argument with his girlfriend supposedly over her cheating on him with a man in Missouri.
The couple had recently moved in with Tuckey’s mother in Clearwater from Missouri. The troubles in the relationship moved along with them to Florida. Jeanine had confided in her mother that Haywood had beaten her before but she refused to move back to Florida without him.
Tuesday night, the couple went into the back yard for what was thought to talk according the to victims mother. Sadly that was the last time Debbie Tuckey seen her daughter alive.
Once in the back yard, Haywood brutally beat Jeanine until she was unresponsive. Once she was unresponsive, Haywood ran into the house and said to call 911 but refused to say why.
Jeanine Tuckey, 34, was rushed to the hospital following the attack.
While at the hospital, Haywood finally admitted what he had done. Haygood said he head-butted Tuckey, knocking her to the ground. When she got up, Haygood choked her and then kicked her legs out from under her, causing her to fall and hit her head. Haygood elbowed Tuckey three times in the chest, an arrest report states.
Tuckey later died from the injuries from the attack.
Once she died, Haywood was immediately charged with Second Degree Murder.
Haywood is now being held in the Pinellas County Jail with no bond. Now I’m not sure if Haywood was charged with Domestic Battery at the time of the incident, according to media reports he was taken to jail on the outstanding warrant in Missouri. His arrest record at the Sheriff’s site does not indicate if he was charged with domestic battery. The Sheriff’s site now shows his arrest as the warrant from Missouri and second degree murder.
Debbie Tuckey said she never dreamed something like this would happen. Debbie also said she never heard anything and was unaware of the brutal beating taking place in her own back yard. Debbie Tuckey said her daughter never screamed or hollered for help.
This story is one of the worst, not only did a family lose a loved one from a senseless beating, but now every year during a time of being thankful this family will only have thoughts of a fatal beating that took the life of a loved one away right in their own back yard.
Not that there is a good time from crimes like this to take place, but it just seems to adds insult to injury so to speak.
Family friends were in the media stating they already have nothing to be thankful for this year and this holiday will now be a reminder of a brutal beating that took the life of a friend.
Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friend of Jeanine Tuckey. May she now rest in peace.
