Falicia Blakely, a known criminal featured in TVOne movie
Falicia Blakely is a notorious criminal due to her involvement in the deaths of three men at the tender age of 19. Her life story, involving murder and exotic dancing, was brought to light in the 2017 TVOne movie 'When Love Kills: The Falicia Blakely Story'. In the film, Falicia Blakely has a daughter, but she is also a mother to a young son who was born in 2000. A daughter character seems to have been invented by the film, which suggests some creative license.

There is speculation in online articles about Blakely possibly having a daughter while in prison or giving birth to a secret love child before being incarcerated, but these rumors are not backed by evidence. Blakely has only ever mentioned her son in interviews and statements, who was 2 years old when she was arrested in 2002. There is no official confirmation of any other children being born or adopted by Blakely.

Falicia was born in 1988 in Jacksonville, Florida,  and grew up in an abusive household with a father who was a drug dealer and a mother who worked as an exotic dancer. By the age of 16, she turned to exotic dancing herself to make ends meet. Unfortunately, she fell into a relationship with a man named Dino, who manipulated her into a life of crime including armed robberies and even murder. Blakely has since claimed that she was under Dino's control during this dark period of her life.

In 2002, Falicia Blakely and Ervin were arrested for the murders of Claudell Christmas (35) and Raymond Goodwin (34) after being caught driving one of the victim's cars. While in custody, they confessed to a third murder - that of Demetrius Twitty - which took place just 12 hours after he witnessed the Atlanta nightclub shooting involving NFL star Ray Lewis.

Blakely admitted to being the one who pulled the trigger in one of the murders, but she said she was forced to do so by her abusive boyfriend Dino. She explained that she was terrified of him and did not have a choice. She was given three consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole for her involvement in the three murders.

Falicia Blakely's son was raised by her family in Jacksonville, where she felt it was important for him to understand the reasons behind her imprisonment. To help him learn about her past, she collaborated with author Sereniti Hall to publish a book called 'A Treacherous Hustle' detailing her life story. This allowed her son to gain insight into his mother's past and the events that led to her being incarcerated. Also, Blakely mentioned that her teenage son is a skilled soccer player.
