Women killed in Huntsville double homicide called ‘innocent’ and ‘vibrant, caring’

Two women found shot to death Tuesday in Huntsville are being remembered by family members as Huntsville police continue to look for a suspect.

The bodies of D’Asia Monique Morris, 24, and Sequoiya Mone’e Lamar, 20, were discovered after officers responded to a shooting call on Bonnell Drive at around 10:40 a.m.

Both died from fatal gunshot wounds, according to Madison County Coroner Tyler Berryhill.

Shemeika King, the mother of Sequoiya Lamar, called her daughter “not only a vibrant, caring young woman but also a source of joy and inspiration for those around her.”

King made her comments on a GoFundMe page set up by the family for funeral expenses.

“The loss of my daughter has left a deep void in our lives,” King wrote. “Her sudden departure has shocked us and left us grappling with grief that is beyond comprehension.”

King called D’Asia Morris, Lamar’s roommate, “an innocent soul who shared the same tragic fate.”

“We are infinitely grateful for the outpouring of love and support offered by our community thus far. The calls, visits, and messages have provided us with consolation during these dark times,” King said.
