SHIELDS Gives Condolences to Alumni Family


Last Friday, February 3, 2012, the daughters of Exodus Alumni Tracy McNeil were killed in a car crash in Hyde Park. “It’s sad that my girls are gone like this,” Tracy said to KCAL9 News while fighting back tears, as she gripped onto one of her grandchildren. “Now I got to explain to [her daughter’s children] where their parents at. They’re gone,” she said, shaken from the loss.

The crash happened at the end of a night of celebrating a friend’s birthday. McNeil’s surviving daughter Christina Williams and her three sisters, Tiesha Turner, 28; Enisha Davis, 20; Jeshai Jones, 19; and two friends were on their way home from a club. “That was our last memory… dancing together, having fun,” Christina said.

Christina went on to say that she fell asleep and woke up in the hospital. A friend driving the SUV had crashed into a tree in Hyde Park. Three of the four sisters were ejected. Christina was the only one with a seatbelt on. Three of the four sisters died and the two friends were still in the hospital, but expected to survive.


“I just still can’t believe it,” says Christina, who was left with bruises and heartbreak. “I miss them. I wish they were here.”

SHIELDS extends our most heartfelt prayers and condolences to Tracy McNeil and her family during this most difficult time.
