An investigation into Tamla Horsford’s death is being reopened after significant public outcry and a request from her family’s lawyer.
Forsyth County, Georgia, Sheriff Ron Freeman requested a new investigation Friday, after mounting pressure from the Horsford family attorney and rappers Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson and Clifford T.I. Harris Jr.
“I am officially requesting the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to assume and open the investigation into the tragic death of Tamla Horsford,” Freeman wrote in a letter to Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Vic Reynolds.
Attorney Ralph Fernandez, who has been retained by Horsford’s family said in a letter to Horsford’s widower, the investigation into her death left a significant amount of holes and there’s a strong chance she was murdered.
This had to have been done at someone’s directive because such a practice is unheard of…We recognize that transparency is vital for law enforcement agencies and we want to ensure that no stone has been left unturned in the investigation of this tragic death.”
