The second defendant is the case of the death of a Nashville woman has pleaded guilty. Mya Fuller was reported missing in 2022, and weeks later her body was discovered in a remote area of Wilson County. Earlier this year, Taiyana Tipton, 23, of Nashville pleaded guilty to all charges involving the death and was sentenced to life in prison for the murder. Today, the second person charged in the case also pleaded guilty, to a lesser offense.
Ty’Shawne Bowles pleaded guilty to facilitation for especially aggravated kidnapping, a class B felony, and received a sentence of 12 years in the Department of Correction. At the plea hearing, prosecutors outlined how Bowles had learned of an altercation between Fuller and his sister, Tipton. Bowles then searched social media until he found Fuller and invited her to a party that night knowing that his sister planned to assault Fuller. Fuller accepted the invitation to the party, and at the party she was attacked by Tipton and co-defendant La’Myra Pipkins. At the conclusion to the assault, Tipton put Fuller into the trunk of her car and drove away with her. In an interview with the police, Bowles acknowledged inviting Fuller to the party but denied knowing of any plan to kidnap or kill her.
“Sometimes in criminal cases people have different levels of involvement and responsibility,” said Jason Lawson, District Attorney. “Today’s plea reflects the level of involvement that Ty’Shawne Bowles had in this case. He invited her there, and so he has responsibility, but the evidence does not show he intended or participated in her death. Based on the evidence of the case the plea today was entered.”
At the plea hearing, Fuller’s mother spoke and in an emotional statement said that her family did not agree with the sentence of twelve years, but understood prosecutors were doing what they could based on the law. Bowles trial had been set to begin on Monday of this week, but late last week the court was notified that a plea agreement had been reached.
Pipkins remains charged and set for trial in November.
