FRANKLIN, Va. — The woman accused of killing a 10-year-old boy in Franklin, who's been on the run for months, was arrested on Tuesday.

Tashawnda Drayton, also known by her rapper name "23 Brazy," was wanted on charges of first-degree murder in connection to the death of 10-year-old La'Marj Holden, according to U.S. Marshals.

Robert Bowers with the U.S Marshals Service spoke exclusively with News 3's Kelsey Jones on the moments leading up to Drayton's arrest.

"It feels good," said Bowers. "When we spoke last time I told you that the Marshals Service wouldn't rest until Tashawnda Drayton is in custody and we meant it."

On Aug. 9, 2023, four people, including Drayton, showed up at a man's house in the 300 block of Artis Street, according to Franklin police. Officials say there was an argument between the man and Drayton, ending with Drayton shooting him.

The bullets also hit 10-year-old La'Marj Holden.

Both the man and La'Marj were taken to the hospital, according to police. The man was treated and released, but La'Marj died from his injuries in the hospital, police say.

Drayton was arrested just before 11 a.m. in the 32000 block of Brookside Drive at Brookside Square Apartments in Boykins — a town in Southampton County about 20 miles outside of Franklin. The U.S. Marshals Service told News 3 that a relative was hiding her.

"Her family member came out, and I heard Drayton's voice from the top of the stairs saying she was coming out, and she came down the stairs and surrendered," said Bowers.

At this time, it is unclear if the relative will be charged. U.S. Marshals and Franklin police say that's up to the Commonwealth's Attorney.

"They could be charged with harboring a fugitive or aiding and abetting a fugitive," Bowers added.

When Kelsey sat down with Bowers back in April of this year, he said they believed other relatives of Drayton were helping to hide her on the East Coast.

Though there were a lot of moving parts to this investigation, what remains the same was Bowers' promise to the 10-year-old's family to arrest Drayton.

"On a case like this where a juvenile is involved, it means a little more and you put a little effort into it to give the family some closure," Bowers said.

The U.S. Marshals Service says they're taking her to Franklin police, and she'll get transferred to Western Tidewater Regional Jail.

Wednesday, in an effort to learn more about what happened, a News 3 reporter attempted to speak with Drayton's relatives who U.S. Marshals suspect of helping Drayton. They refused to comment and forcefully told News 3 not to return.

Although an arrest was made, those living near where Drayton was picked up in Boykins also said they were wary of speaking on camera due to potential retaliation.

“We've lost a little angel," said a pastor in Franklin last August, when a prayer vigil was held in remembrance of La'Marj.

Until Tuesday, Drayton had been on the run for months, prompting U.S. Marshals to bump the reward from $10,000 to $20,000 during their search for her.

Drayton was wanted for first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding, two counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, threat to burn or damage a building, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and discharge of a firearm in a public place, according to U.S. Marshals.

She's still facing those charges following her arrest, U.S. Marshals say.

The above article doesn’t say it, but this tidbit is mentioned in another article from the U.S. Marshals back when she was on the run:
Tashawnda Nicole Drayton, 24, known by her rap name “23 Brazy,”is also known to identify as a male, according to her family and friends, and go by the name “Berlin Montrell,” along with the nickname of “Punnie.”
She also dresses like this:

I want a deep scientific study into this weird, evil and relatively new phenomenon.
But a pooner would probably go and murder the researcher's families if they did that study so it's not worth the risk to anyone
I wonder if it creates PMDD-esque symptoms? The kind of stereotypical PMS where a woman is ready to choke a bitch if someone looks at her the wrong way.

PMDD has a whole host different of hormonal shifts so it COULD?
But I would suspect would be more like if someone already had PMDD then poured gasoline on the fire-- so many pooners talk about PMDD being the start of their journey.
 
Women on testerone seem to have a predilection towards child murder.

In fairness, there isn’t any evidence that she was medically transitioning. Also, other articles about the murder seem to imply that the man who was shot was the sole target and one of the bullets missed and hit the kid (a tale as old as time in the hood).

Post partem depression that can lead to women killing their own babies is a result of erratic hormone production during and after a pregnancy.

Add on that poons/troons are mentally ill to begin with and its really not hard to see why the thing that never happens keeps happening.
