Florida Teen Tovonna Holton killed herself after nude shower video goes on Snapchat

A Florida teen killed herself after her friends filmed a video of her in the shower without her permission and posted it on Snapchat, her family said.

Tovonna Holton, 15, a Freshman at Wiregrass Ranch High School in Wesley Chapel stole a gun from her mother Levon Holton-Teamer’s handbag and shot herself in the family’s bathroom hours after the video circulated on the APP,  WFLA reports.

The 15-year-old had taken a gun from her mother’s purse and shot herself in the bathroom of her home

Her mother, Levon Holton-Teamer, who has posted pictures of her with her daughter on Facebook, said Tovonna locked herself in the bathroom.

She told WFLA-TV: ‘I couldn’t get in the bathroom.

‘The bathroom light was off so I tried to get in and I looked down and I saw the puddle of blood. I tried to apply the pressure, the pressure to her head. I tried to save her.’

 

Holton's mother (pictured) broke down as she revealed how she desperately tried to save her daughter’s life after finding her on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood.

She also spoke about the last conversation she had with her daughter hours before she was found dead. She had spoken about a nude picture her friends had taken of her without permission – and told her mother that she ‘owed them.’

‘Tovonna would say, ‘Mommy, I owe them; I owe them.’ I said, ‘What do you mean you owe them?’ I couldn’t understand what was wrong.’

After her death, Tovonna’s aunt Angel Scott discovered that bullies had shared the naked images of Tovonna.

She told the news station: ‘Everybody was out there talking about her and calling her names and they said it went up on social media, Snapchat. I’d never heard of that before about three-something that afteoon.

‘I want [the bullies] to pay, to feel what we feeling, even if their child is convicted or in trouble, they can go visit their child.’
