COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WKRN) – In Columbia, it’s not uncommon for time to move slowly. However, for Tameca Patton, time has passed quickly with this week marking four years since her son’s death.

“In honor of my son and approaching four years tomorrow on March the first since Deveric was murdered, I am still seeking justice,” Patton read. “On March 1, 2020, someone entered my home and shot and killed Deveric and burned our home.”

At 6:50 a.m., authorities responded to a house fire in the area. Inside, they found 27-year-old Deveric Renfro with a gunshot wound.

“From working that night to getting off that morning and then receiving that phone call that my house was burning, and then the weight that I had to even get here to my house, it’s just all bizarre,” said Patton.

The Columbia Police Department ruled Deveric’s death a homicide.

“Life hasn’t really felt like life. I was a mother of twins and my children were always my life, and now it just seems that I just do the daily things to cope in life, to go on in life, but I feel empty,” she said.

“Four years feels like not long ago,” she explained. “Everything still feels fresh on my mind and it is something I think about every day and I think I’ll always think about.”

Police said Deveric’s death is still being investigated, and Patton continues to fight for justice.
