Obituary in The Gadsden Times, April 22, 1994. Burial in Turkeytown Cemetery. Watson and Sons Funeral Home in charge.

A very sad day in Gadsden, Alabama. Tamika Collins was an employee of Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken restaurant in East Gadsden. In a robbery, three employees were found shot to death in a walk-in freezer on April 16, 1994. A fourth employee was shot numerous times, but was able to crawl from the freezer to the restaurant's office and telephone 911 for help. Two people were sent to prison for the shooting. Newspaper accounts that while these two were in prison each of these killers took the lives of two other prison inmates and are scheduled for execution by the State of Alabama.
