Family and friends gathered at High Point Commons Park in West Seattle to hold a vigil in memory of Mioshi McCloud and her 11-year-old daughter, My’Elle Harris, who were tragically killed in St. Louis County, Missouri two weeks ago. The family described the past few weeks as incredibly difficult and expressed their shock and grief over the sudden loss of their loved ones.
According to McCloud’s sister, Schwanda Taylor Crow, McCloud had moved to St. Louis to start a new chapter in her life and be closer to relatives. McCloud was a talented singer who had participated in numerous concerts and projects in Seattle over the years. My’Elle was described as a mini version of her mother, who loved to read and was adored by her family.
Authorities in Berkely found McCloud and Harris stabbed to death in their home, leading to the arrest of McCloud’s son, Lawrente’ O’Cain. O’Cain has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action. Family members revealed that McCloud had been trying to get O’Cain help for mental health issues and expressed their frustration with the lack of support for mental health in the community.
Attendees at the vigil shared fond memories of McCloud and Harris while also highlighting the broken mental health system that they believe contributed to the tragic event. They emphasized the need for better mental health services and support for families dealing with similar challenges. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist the family with funeral and other expenses related to the tragedy.
