Jurice's murder has left behind her Daughter to continue on without her
Mother in her life
Jurice was stabbed to death by her boyfriend, Tracy Wainright, 41. They were fighting in the
hallway outside their apartment at the time of the homicide.
The night of the
homicide they were drinking with friends and relatives in the apartment
building where they lived. They began to argue because Jurice thought Tracy was
interested in another woman. During the argument, Jurice followed him into the
hallway. She accused him of cheating on her and pushed him. According to
eyewitness accounts, he said that if she pushed him again he would kill her.
Jurice drew a small knife and stabbed him in the arm. He had a larger knife and
with an over hand grip stabbed her in the chest.
Jurice and Tracy had
been in a relationship for 12 years and were living together for the last 8
years. There was a history of domestic violence in their relationship. Family
members heard Tracy threaten to kill Jurice on several occasions. Two years earlier,
Tracy stabbed Jurice which sent her to the hospital. According to the police
report from that incident, he said, “I’ll kill you. If I can’t have you nobody
will”. A week before the homicide, while talking to Jurice on the phone, her
daughter heard Tracy yelling, “you’re getting on my nerves, you ain’t gonna
stop until I kill you”.
Tracy Wainright was
charged and convicted of Second Degree Reckless Homicide and sentenced to five
years in prison with five years extended supervision.
