Tiffany Wright's Baby Has Also Died...N.C. DSS & CMPD Now Responsible For Two Deaths! (Federal Probe)

Infant died today, a week after Tiffany Wright's Murder


N.C. Foster Care Children are frequently subjected to Sexual Abuse at the hands of their Foster Parents. The State is aware of this horrible Public Corruption but doesn't care.

Why doesn't N.C. care?

Foster Care Children are one of the state's most lucrative forms of Federal Revenue. Particularly Minority Children. In fact if Tiffany Wright (a Foster Care Child who wanted to be a Lawyer) were a Caucasian Foster Care Teen within North Carolina's Foster Care System, this tragedy would NOT have happened!

I'm pushing for a Federal Investigation and I've forwarded this information to the White House.

Since North Carolina's Black Leaders (especially the complacent, stagnant ones in Charlotte-Meck. County) are either afraid or too self-serving to speak up, I will encourage other regular, caring citizens like myself to take action. The Lord will not allow Tiffany Wright's death, nor the death of her baby to be in vain. Its high time for Reform within North Carolina's DSS and Court Systems. It will occur!






Tiffany Wright's infant girl – delivered by doctors as her mother died Monday from a gunshot wound – has also died, according to a spokesperson for Carolinas Health Care System.

Tiffany was eight-months pregnant when she was shot in the head Monday waiting for her school bus. But the baby died early this morning, after nearly a week in critical condition. No other details were available.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are investigating Tiffany's death, and call her adoptive brother Royce Mitchell “a person of interest” in the homicide. Police charged Mitchell, 36, with statutory rape and indecent liberties with a child, and have said that Tiffany was the victim of those crimes.

Mitchell is in jail and has a bond hearing set for Sept. 25.

Tiffany was adopted into Mitchell's family by his mother, Alma Wright. Tiffany went to live with Mitchell in January after Alma Wright died of natural causes at age 77. But Mitchell failed to become her permanent guardian, and Tiffany this summer began a new life with a foster mother in northeast Charlotte.

Tiffany attended Hawthorne High School and was in the TAPS program for pregnant students. She told family and friends she was excited about becoming a mother and planned to name her baby, Aaliyah.

Mitchell worked on a street maintenance crew for the city of Charlotte, and had served prison time on a federal drug conviction. He's under post-release supervision by federal authorities.

Despite his criminal record, Mitchell was given temporary legal guardianship over Tiffany on Feb. 5 by a Mecklenburg court. But he later failed a DSS home study and Tiffany was moved into Foster Care.



Suspect in pregnant teen's death to lose Probation

Federal prosecutors are preparing documents to revoke Royce Mitchell's probation, which means he'll stay in the Mecklenburg jail until state charges of raping his 15-year-old adopted sister are dealt with, authorities said.

Mitchell, 36, is listed as a person of interest in the death of Tiffany Wright, who was eight months pregnant when she was shot in the head at a school bus stop Monday morning.

Her baby was successfully delivered at Carolinas Medical Center later that day, but the hospital has stopped releasing information about the infant.

After the shooting, Mitchell was charged with statutory rape and taking indecent liberties with a minor.

Those charges constitute probation violations, and a Federal warrant is being prepared in New York that “will keep him from getting out of jail,” said Greg Forest, chief of the Federal probation office in Charlotte.

He was imprisoned on a drug-trafficking charge in New York in 1999. He was released in April 2007 and sentenced to four years' probation, Forest said.

Mitchell has a bond hearing scheduled for Sept. 25 on the Charlotte rape charges.

The announcement by Federal Prosecutors came on the same day that Charlotte officials fired Mitchell from his job in the street maintenance department.

Mitchell had worked for the city since 2007 and earned $25,808 a year.

City officials said that their background checks didn't catch his previous criminal convictions.

Kim McMillan of the City of Charlotte said that “after administrative review, the City of Charlotte has terminated the employment of Royce Mitchell for falsifying his employment application, which is in violation of city policy.”

McMillan did not say in what way Mitchell falsified his application. But city officials said Wednesday that as a result of the Mitchell case, they plan to expand background checks to include a search of federal offenses around the country.

Until now, the city's background checks have included local and state records, and Federal records in the Justice Department's Western North Carolina District.
