🎄 On The 2nd Day of Christmas: A Deadly Thank You… Cecilia “CiCi” Simpson

🎄 Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas: Cecilia “CiCi” Simpson

A simple, everyday interaction should never end in violence.

In this episode of Black, Brown, & Unsolved, we examine the killing of 41-year-old Cecilia “CiCi” Simpson, who was shot and killed outside a Dallas PetSmart following an argument that began earlier that day over a door being held open.

What started as a minor exchange escalated into confrontation, pursuit, and ultimately, a fatal shooting… raising difficult questions about escalation, emotional regulation, mental health, bystander hesitation, and how quickly everyday moments can turn deadly.

This episode also addresses victim-blaming, the dangers of demanding respect from strangers, and why walking away can save lives.

This is Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas… daily stories that don’t always fit neatly into headlines, but deserve to be heard.
