Laura McLeod, 34, of Bradenton, Florida, was shot and killed at a home in the 1800 block of 1st Avenue East on April 21, 2019. Police received a 911 call about a shooting at about 7:20 p.m.; officers found McLeod with a gunshot wound to her upper body and she died despite medical treatment. Her teenage daughter, in a nearby room, reported hearing a click and then a gunshot.

Investigators identified McLeod’s boyfriend, Deundre Dunn, as the primary suspect after an argument over a cellphone. Dunn fled the scene, discarded the firearm into the Manatee River, and was arrested a few blocks away. He was charged with second-degree murder, convicted of Murder in the Second Degree with a Firearm, and sentenced to life in prison.

The case has been framed by family and officials as a domestic violence tragedy. Does anyone have information about Laura, her circle, or the neighborhood that could shed light on what led to that night?
