Distressing footage captured at least 10 adults and children fighting during a Tennessee kindergarten graduation ceremony earlier this month, according to a report.
The chaos unfolded at Buckley Carpenter Elementary in Somerville, Tenn., on May 15, 2024, when tensions between two women in the crowd boiled over into violence, police told Fox 13 Memphis.
The adults, identified as Tyeisha Humphreys and Kierra Smith, were seen brawling down the gymnasium bleachers as witnesses tried to escape the madness.
Beyond the bleacher brawl, at least two other people on the basketball court exchanged several punches.
According to the outlet, Tyeisha Humphreys told police that she was attacked first while Smith insisted that her childhood acquaintance ignited the brawl.
Security video obtained by law enforcement allegedly showed Tyeisha Humphreys coming into the gym and taking a seat directly behind Smith.
Smith then reportedly moved away from her original seat and sat next to a father and his child, according to the outlet.
Investigators say Smith and the child then got into an argument, which allegedly led to the woman taking an aggressive stance, prompting Tyeisha Humphreys to run down the bleachers from several rows back and smack Smith from behind to start the fight.
Ronda Humphreys, the mother arrested in the fight, told Fox 13 that she was wrongfully arrested and saw her son was elbowed in the head by an adult during the melee.
“I got hysterical. The police called the ambulance,” she told the outlet. “They said he had a concussion and released him.”
One man, Dantavious Gilchrease, and a mother and daughter, Ronda and Tyeisha Humphreys, were arrested following the graduation melee. Gilchrease's relationship with the Humphreys was not disclosed.
Gilchrease was arrested outside the school for allegedly telling Rhonda Humphreys he would “shoot her in the face,”

Personally, I think the problem is related to these individuals having ridiculous names. Anyone named Tyeisha or Dantavious has no choice but to act like a buffoon. Outlaw absurd names and the absurd behavior will cease. Or something....
Tyeisha?
Random vowel generator or what?
The hairline is more Bozo. Actually, the strongest resemblance is to Homey the Clown, now that I think of it.
Didn’t have to read the article to know who was involved.
Yep. Yogi always knows.
Do I have to look?
Well, at least the kids will have one graduation ceremony in their lives to remember.
Best not, especially post #25.
The place is full of five-years-olds and the “grown ups” can’t even take that into account and control themselves for however long it might take to get through the ceremomy. The good news is that the the melee ended before Dantavious could shoot Tyesha in the face.
Those kids don’t have a prayer.
That is totally unc...(snicker) totally uncalled for, and you (LOL) should be ashamed of yourself. You have no business (Bwahahaha) doing something like that! (ROFL)
no need to look at the pics ...
As usual, a lot of moving parts here—Tyeisha, Kierra, Dantavious ... all throwing punches and elbows at the kindergarten graduation ceremony. And a good time was had by all.
Kindergarten graduation ceremonies are a useless exercise and stupid idea.
Is she sucking on her lip plate?

Really, what the heck is there to “graduate” from?
