Ti'Airra Woodward


Ti'Airra Woodward
December 5 2008 - July 3 2011
Age: 2 years old  


Ti'Airra was born to her father, Donovan Haynes, and her 16 year old mother, Nakeesha Woodward. Ti'Airra's mother lost custody of her due to unknown reasons. On July 3 2011, Ti'Airra was found unresponsive in her grandmother's basement. At first the person who did this to Ti'Airra was unknown. She had bite marks all over her body and had clearly been beaten to death. She had died of internal bleeding from a lacerated liver. Not long after Ti'Airra's body was found, 23 year old Donovan Haynes was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Donovan admitted to beating his 2 year old daughter to death. He claimed that he became angry after he discovered that Ti'Airra had wet the bed. Donovan also said that he didn't want his daughter to have men in her life and he claimed that he thought beating her would make her turn gay so she wouldn't ever have a boyfriend. 

During his court case, Donovan was seen smirking and he walked into the court room with a smile on his face. Donovan Haynes was sentenced to 18-40 years in prison.

  1. If you're going to post about my granddaughter please make sure you have the facts right. My daughter did not lose custody of her daughter. She was only there for the weekend.

  2. And what does her being 16 have to do with anything. She took wonderful care of her daughter. Tiairra was well kept and never wanted for anything.

    1. She can't understand English that well, she probably just went with what she could understand. She didn't mean put 16 as an insult, she put it there to just show the age difference between Nakeesha and Donovan. I'll send an email to see if she will change it. So sorry for your loss.

  3. Your granddaughter is so beautiful! Her father had no right to take her away from you and your daughter! How's assaulting the toddler going to make her turn gay?! Ti'airra has every right to have a boyfriend when she's older! The father knew SO MUCH BETTER than to take her life like that! No parent/grandparent should live with this amount of grief! She could've been graduating from elementary school this year if she was still alive today. I can't imagine how much pain your family is in. Ti'airra also would've turned 11 in two months. Rest in Peace, babygirl. <3
