In Loving Memory of Tiffany Lassiter
On the evening of December 24, 2025, a profound and heartbreaking loss occurred that has left a family and community in mourning. At approximately 7:45 p.m., officers with the Henderson Police Department responded to a reported shooting at a residence located at 866 Dabney Drive. Inside the home, they found 37-year-old Tiffany Lassiter, who had suffered a fatal gunshot wound. She was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Tiffany’s passing is a tragic reminder of how fragile life can be and how deeply violence within the home can devastate those left behind. She was more than a name in a police report—she was a daughter, a loved one, a friend, and a woman whose life held meaning, relationships, and memories that can never be replaced. Those who knew Tiffany remember her as someone with a presence that mattered, whose absence will now be felt in quiet moments, shared spaces, and future milestones she will no longer be here to see.
Authorities have stated that the suspect, 52-year-old Mahlon Leroy Hebron, was taken into custody without incident. Information obtained at the scene indicates that the suspect and Tiffany were involved in a domestic relationship. He has since been charged in connection with the homicide and remanded to the Vance County Detention Center without bond, pending future court proceedings. The investigation remains ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time.
As the legal process moves forward, the emotional weight of this loss remains heavy. Tiffany’s death has left a void that cannot be filled by answers alone. Her loved ones are now faced with the unimaginable task of grieving during a season often meant for togetherness, reflection, and peace.
Today, we honor Tiffany Lassiter by remembering her life and acknowledging the pain of her loss. May she be remembered with compassion and dignity, and may her family and friends find strength, comfort, and support as they navigate the difficult days ahead. Her life mattered, and she will not be forgotten.
