The stabbing occurred on the 200 Block of Q Street, N.W. at 2:38 PM. The stabbing began after the two friends laughed at a daycare center that was being run out of a townhouse; the assailant, a man, who was standing in the doorway of the townhouse thought the two were laughing at him, which he took personally. The man then began referring to the two women by slurs. Mack retaliated by yelling slurs back at the man. Tyli'a's friend encouraged her to continue onward to THE but she refused. A short time later, the man appeared behind Mack; hitting her and when told to stop by the friend, he began hitting her too. The killer then began stabbing the two friends, with Tyli'a running across the street for help; collapsing to the ground. She was taken to Howard University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later. The friend was injured but was treated and fully recovered.
The unnamed friend never got a good look at the attacker, as she was trying to avoid confrontation with the man. Police were not able to get a sketch of the killer because of this, so the case went cold.
My personal opinion is that Tyli'a was set up by the friend for whatever reason. Maybe over a relationship, friendship, etc. I allege that the friend told the attacker that she would be walking past the daycare on her way to an appointment with THE on August 26. I believe that the incident she describes never even happened. The friend was only stabbed too, to eliminate herself as a suspect, but had the killer make sure her injuries weren't life threatening, like Mack's.
