Lil Mama and Lance Gross will star in ‘When Love Kills: The Falicia Blakely Story’ when it premieres August 28th on TV One.
At 16 and already a mother, Blakely is at odds with her mom (“Basketball Wives’” Tami Roman) and soon begins working at a strip club when she meets Dino (“House of Payne’s” Lance Gross), a man who she thinks is the man of her dreams. Dino, however, is much more than he seems and soon pulls Falicia into a dangerous life of crime that changes everything she knows about herself.
Directed by Tasha Smith, the movie is inspired by the true story of Falicia Blakely, who in the summer of 2002, at the age of 19, murdered three men within two days, in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time of the murders, Blakely was a nude dancer, for which she used a fake I.D. On August 15, 2002, Blakely and the co-accused, Ameshia Ervin, were responsible for the deaths of Claudell Christmas, 35, and Raymond Goodwin, 34. And on August 16, for the death of Lemetrius Twitty, 29. Both Blakely and Ervin were arrested in the restroom of a diner named Mrs. Winner’s and were driving the car of a man who died earlier. The pair confessed to all three murders, but the state wanted the death penalty.
Blakely is spending life in prison without parole in the Georgia Department of Corrections.
