Terrell's mother, Dierdra said that her son was someone who would help anyone in need.
"He was a fun loving individual. He tried to save everybody. He'd give his shirt off his back. He'd give his last dollar. He'd try to help anybody out. He'd give you a place to stay, lay your head," Dierdra said. "He had no enemies. He loved life. He loved everybody. Most of all he loved his six year old daughter. "It's going to be a tragedy for her because her dad's gone."
CCPD said that the shooter showed up to the apartment where an argument broke out that escalated into Terrell being shot. Terrell lived at the apartment complex.
