In a press release, London Metropolitan Police shared that security footage obtained by authorities showed Fuller stabbing Terrell then running away. Even though law enforcement rendered aid at the scene before the arrival of London’s ambulance service, the EMS team carried out emergency resuscitation to no avail.
The outlet reports Tyrece Fuller was later identified and charged with the killing on Nov. 24, 2020.
Although nothing can bring back Terrell, 21 and his family have finally received justice. The press release announced that Fuller was found guilty of manslaughter following a near two-week long trial at Inner London Crown Court on Oct. 28, 2021. Fuller was sentenced to 10 years for manslaughter and three years for possession of an offensive weapon, which will both run concurrently.
