Joanie Leigh Youmans, 42, was shot and killed on Friday, December 27, 2019, in the backyard of a home in the 100 block of Valley Lane in Lexington, South Carolina. Emergency responders found her with a gunshot wound to the upper body; she was pronounced dead at the scene. The firearm used was identified as a revolver.

Police arrested Joanie’s 29-year-old boyfriend, Brandon Lee Corder, at his home shortly after the shooting. He was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. A magistrate judge denied bond initially, though a later decision set bond at $100,000; family members expressed fear and disbelief given Corder’s history, which includes a 2016 conviction for third-degree domestic violence.

Are there details about Joanie’s life in Lexington, or witnesses from Valley Lane on December 27, 2019, who can help fill in what happened that day?
