MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The woman accused of killing a Middle Tennessee State University women’s basketball player was released from jail Friday on bond, and her parents said they planned to take their daughter home and hoped to meet with the family of the slain student.
A Friday viewing was scheduled for the junior guard, Tina Stewart. Her funeral was set for Saturday in Memphis.
Meanwhile, the parents of the suspect, Shanterrica Madden, said they hope to talk soon with Stewart’s parents, with the families’ pastors on hand.
“That’s what we need,” said Madden’s father, Frank, said. “We all lost something here, and we need to just come together.”
Madden, 18, had her bond set at $100,000 Friday, and her preliminary hearing was rescheduled. She appeared in Rutherford County General Sessions Court on Friday wearing an orange jumpsuit on a charge of first-degree murder in the March 3 stabbing death of Stewart in the off-campus apartment they shared. Madden’s family sat in the courtroom along with Stewart’s boyfriend, Middle Tennessee basketball player KC Anuna.
