Tioni Theus: Community calling for justice for teen whose body was dumped on side of 110 Freeway
The death of 16-year-old Tioni Theus has left friends and family with more questions than answers.
LOS ANGELES - "How does a 16-year-old girl end up shot on the side of the freeway, and there’s little community outrage?" asked the family of Tioni Theus.
California Highway Patrol officers found her lifeless body on the side of the 110 Freeway Manchester off-ramp in South Los Angeles, on January 8.

"We still don’t know more than we did 11 days ago," said Rashida Kincy, who has been spearheading outreach to media, asking for help.
Theus was last seen January 7, by her dad, when she told him she was meeting a friend to go to a party. The 16-year-old had been staying with dad, since her mother was placed in an assisted living facility, to recuperate from a serious hit-and-run.

"Who does this to a 16-year-old girl, leaving her dumped on the side of the freeway like garbage?" said family members.
