Discovery and the date distinction
KYMA’s August 25, 2021 report says officers responded to the Magnolia Avenue home the previous Tuesday morning after a call concerning a man threatening suicide. That response date was August 24. Later sentencing coverage dates the killings themselves to August 23. [1]
The 2023 outcome
KYMA reported that Wilhite pleaded guilty in October 2023. On November 15, the court sentenced him to two consecutive terms of natural life, without parole. The sentencing report includes statements from relatives remembering Tamacia and Roy. [2]

What this record establishes
Tamacia’s page and Roy’s existing city-directory record refer to the same incident. They represent two victims, not two separate events. The dates are distinguished so discovery is not mistaken for the exact time of the killings.
