Early life

Tara Correa-McMullen was born in Westminster, Vermont to mother Mary Devra Correa and father Thomas McMullen.[1] In 1996, she, her mother, and her older sister Abigail moved to Northern California, and later settled in Venice, an affluent neighborhood of Los Angeles. Correa-McMullen attended Claremont Middle School and later Venice High School, where she sang in the school's choir.[2]

Career

Correa-McMullen's only film role was in the 2005 film Rebound, when her mother, who was working for a casting company at the time, recommended her daughter for the role. Correa-McMullen had no acting experience prior to landing the role.[2] She later won a part as a recurring character on the CBS TV series Judging Amy as a young gang member, and she appeared in several episodes during the series' sixth season. Correa-McMullen also had a small role on one episode of Zoey 101.[3]

Murder

In early 2005, 16-year-old Correa-McMullen moved into her own apartment in Inglewood, California and began dating a gang member ten years her senior. On the evening of October 21, 2005, she was shot to death by gang member Damien Watts.[4] At the time of her death, Correa-McMullen was outside her apartment complex, and was trying to run inside for safety. Two other people were also shot in the incident, but survived.[5] She is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles.[6]

Aftermath

Damien Watts was charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder on March 1, 2006.[5] On January 23, 2009, he was convicted of Correa-McMullen's murder. Watts was sentenced to five life sentences without parole on February 27, 2009.[7] Watts' accomplice in the shooting spree, Joseph Wayne Jones, was also sentenced to life without parole.[8]
