Here’s What Happened To Roméca Meeks-Blackmon

On September 8, Roméca Meeks-Blackmon was dropping off her six-year-old son at school in the South Loop of Chicago. According to Justin Carter, Roméca was unaware that her child’s dad,  and his new girlfriend, Quadajah Johnson, were in the area for an “unrelated” reason. Her son’s father, Carlos Smith Sr., had parked nearby to switch cars with Johnson. The women ended up crossing paths, and a verbal and physical altercation ensued. At some point, Quadajah allegedly pulled out a gun, and shot Roméca in the face with onlookers nearby.

Videos obtained by TSRI show that it was a chaotic scene right after as first responders rushed to the scene and carried the unresponsive victim off to Stroger Hospital. However, once there, medical professional declared her dead.

Later, a photo Roméca posted on her Instagram Stories that morning went viral. She had written a sweet note to her six-year-old son, Carlos Jr., and included it with his lunch. Now, it’s one of the child’s last memory of his mom.

“Happy Monday, son, today is the first start to this and you can start off strong,” the note read. “Always remain yourself. You’re the coolest, smartest and funniest kid I know. I love you so much and you make me so proud. Have a great day. Mommy loves you.”
