The bodies of two Tampa teenagers were discovered Thursday morning on a roadside in Duval County.

Angelia Mangum, 19, and Tjhisha Ball, 18, were found about 1 a.m., according to law enforcement. A witness told Jacksonville news station WJAX the teenagers were bound with zip ties and lying on top of one another.

“Two witnesses were driving by and they saw bodies and they called 911," Sgt. T.K. Waters told news station WJXT.

Officers were dispatched to Sisson Drive, near the intersection of Main Street North and Clark Road.

Investigators suspect foul play and are trying to determine the causes of death.

"They were in an area where they would have been noticed, so I think it was fairly recently since they’d been left there,” Waters also told WJXT.

A medical examiner has taken the bodies to determine the cause of death.

"I just don’t understand what happened,” Ball’s sister, Crystal Moore, said.

According to Moore, both women had been living in the Jacksonville area off and on for approximately a year and a half.

“I feel like sometimes that I failed,” Ball’s mother, Jerlean Moore, said. “What could I have done? What could I have taught her better? It hurts…it really hurts.”

It’s a pain that’s only worsened by the fact that no one has been caught.

jesus..

let’s care just as much about black girls being murdered as we do about black boys. signal boost.

i want everybody to pay attention to the fact that news article includes their criminal history. “Mangum had two outstanding warrants on charges of burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, according to law enforcement. Ball was arrested in April for having no valid driver’s license.”

i want everybody to really take note of that. real close attention.

And a lot of people are pretty much dismissing their murders because of their alleged profession. This is why people need to stop dehumanizing women based on sexualization. People are getting away with murdering Black women. They are victims. And I want answers, their killers don’t deserve to get off, idc what kind of lifestyle they led. They deserve justice.

Why is there still so little information on this case!? These were teenagers who were brutally murdered and their corpses were just dumped like trash.

This is fucking ridiculous.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT KIND OF ATTENTION THIS WOULD GET IF THEY WERE WHITE GIRLS?! NATIONAL IN DEPTH FUCKING ATTENTION. WITHOUT A DOUBT.
