The premiere of Feuds Turned Fatal examines a 2021 case from Newport News, Virginia, where a dispute between postal workers Jacquie Shabazz and Tashara Jackson escalated dramatically. The feud reportedly began over an alleged affair, leading to a series of escalating retaliatory acts.

Initially, Shabazz admitted to slashing Jackson’s tires. Later, Shabazz’s own vehicle was vandalized. The conflict reached a boiling point when the Shabazzes encountered Jackson at a party at Harpoon Larry’s restaurant. A confrontation ensued in the parking lot, with Shabazz’s husband, Sal, allegedly using a taser to keep others from intervening.

Tragically, Sal Shabazz was later shot and killed at his home. Prosecutors linked the murder to the ongoing feud between Jackson and Jacquie Shabazz. Jackson’s conviction followed a mistrial in the case against Jeremy Todd Pettway, another postal worker present at the Shabazz residence during the shooting. Feuds Turned Fatal explores both sides of this tragic story, examining how a seemingly minor disagreement spiraled into irreversible consequences.
