PAYBACK, April 15, 2024, TV One, “Dead Ends Part 2”
In the season finale of PAYBACK, airing on TV One on Monday April 15, the investigation into the tragic murder of a young couple and their unborn child in Memphis, Tennessee, comes to a close. The victims, Eddie Tate II and Edwina Thomas, were killed in a parking lot outside an apartment complex, with Thomas’ unborn child also losing its life.
The motive behind the brutal crime is revealed to be a dispute over bundles of hair weaves, valued at up to $250 each. The suspect, 18-year-old Shelby Isaac, had met with Tate under the guise of purchasing hair weaves, but instead, she lured him to his death. Isaac was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, reckless homicide, and criminally negligent homicide.
The episode, “Dead Ends Part 2,” also sheds light on the impact of gun violence on children, with Tate’s mother, Gloria, sharing her grief and the void left by the loss of her only child. Isaac’s father also speaks out, expressing his pain and the senselessness of the crime.
The investigation uncovers a web of connections, including a possible accomplice, Victoria Seay, who allegedly acted as the getaway driver. The episode delves into the complex dynamics of the case, the search for justice, and the emotional toll on the victims’ families.
PAYBACK: Dead Ends Part 2 airs on TV One at 10.00 pm on Monday, April 15, 2024.
