“They told her ‘This n*gga will kill you’, I’m sorry”, cries man in Facebook livestream after killing his wife

A Mississippi family is plunged into profound grief just weeks after burying their mother, following a devastating murder-suicide in Vicksburg that claimed the lives of 53-year-old Valtricia Garrett and her 40-year-old husband, Cedric Garrett.

Brother discovers tragedy through a Facebook Live video

The harrowing sequence of events came to light on Friday morning when Valtricia’s brother, Andre Moore, received a terrifying phone call from a friend alerting him to a broadcast Cedric had posted online.

“I got a phone call from my friend saying that her husband was online saying that he had killed my sister,” Moore recalled, struggling to process the sudden loss. “There’s no words that I can possibly say for the loss of my sister.”

Cedric Garrett drives to his mother’s workplace

Cedric Garrett filmed himself driving to his mother’s workplace. He lamented that people had variously told his wife to leave him because he would kill her.

“They told her ‘This n*gga will do it! I f*cked up. I’m sorry!” he cried. He said he was going to f*cking blow his own brain out too.

The distraught man stated that he did not want his mother to see him or the havoc he had wreaked. He therefore decided to park some distance away from his mother’s workplace.

The police found him in that location minutes later.

Police standoff behind Vicksburg Convalescent Home

According to Vicksburg Police Chief Larry Burns, authorities received an emergency call around 9:00 a.m. requesting a welfare check behind the Vicksburg Convalescent Home after reports placed Cedric Garrett inside a vehicle with a weapon.

Officers engaged Cedric in negotiations for roughly 20 minutes, attempting to persuade him to surrender.

“It seemed as if it was going in that direction. And then all of a sudden, he took the weapon and took his life,” Chief Burns stated.

When officers secured the vehicle, they discovered Valtricia Garrett dead inside. Investigators confirmed that Cedric had shot and killed her before taking his own life.

A history of domestic violence and an attempted fresh start

Chief Burns disclosed that police records showed a documented history of domestic violence involving the couple, noting that Cedric had previously been arrested in 2017 and 2018, with an additional domestic violence report filed against him as recently as a couple of months prior in 2026.

Family members revealed that Valtricia had bravely chosen to break away from the toxic environment. According to her brother, she had left Cedric and was actively trying to move forward with her life.

Remembered by her loved ones as a deeply caring mother and grandmother who extended a helping hand to anyone in the community, Valtricia’s untimely death has left her family shattered.

“We’re beyond heartbroken. Like I just said, we just buried our mother about 30 days ago. Now we have to deal with this tragedy,” Moore mourned.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please reach out to local emergency services, a crisis helpline, or a trusted support network immediately.
