Tuscaloosa Mourns the Tragic Loss of Electra Skye and Jazeyon “JJ” Stewart
The Tuscaloosa community is grappling with deep sorrow and disbelief following the tragic discovery of missing Alabama couple Electra Skye and Jazeyon “JJ” Stewart. Authorities confirmed that the young couple was found deceased Monday evening, April 28, 2025, in the parking lot of Crunch Fitness on Greensboro Avenue.
The heartbreaking discovery comes after friends and family raised alarm bells over the weekend when Electra and Stewart failed to make contact after a distressing argument late Sunday night. Witnesses at the scene recounted a heated dispute between the two, during which Stewart allegedly threw Electra’s car keys, leading loved ones to immediately fear for her safety.
Search efforts intensified on Monday as concern grew among family, friends, and local residents. Tragically, their worst fears were realized when law enforcement responded to a call and found both Electra and Stewart deceased inside a vehicle parked near the gym.
Authorities have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding their deaths. While details remain limited, investigators are working diligently to piece together the events that led to this devastating outcome. The Tuscaloosa Police Department has not yet publicly released official causes of death, and autopsies are pending with the local medical examiner’s office.
Electra Skye, described by those who knew her as a bright, free-spirited young woman with a heart full of kindness, was deeply loved by her family and a wide circle of friends. She had dreams of building a future filled with creativity, community, and compassion.
Jazeyon “JJ” Stewart, known for his outgoing nature and infectious energy, was considered a loyal friend and a passionate individual who made a lasting impact on those around him. The loss of both young lives has left a profound void in the hearts of all who knew them.
The couple’s families have requested privacy as they navigate unimaginable grief but expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from the Tuscaloosa community. A candlelight vigil is being organized in their memory, where friends, family, and neighbors will gather to celebrate the lives of Electra and JJ and to offer prayers for healing.
“This tragedy has shaken us all to the core,” said a family friend. “We must come together in love and support, honoring their memories and leaning on one another during this painful time.”
