Brandy Christine Maples, 29, was found dead on January 20, 2016, outside a residence near Palomino Drive and Morgan Road in Milton, Florida. Deputies from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported medical emergency about 7 a.m. and found Maples with multiple gunshot wounds. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots around that time and described the neighborhood as having declined in safety.

In the days before her death Maples sent texts saying she feared for her life. Reports say she had been involved in drug use, had distanced herself from family, and that rumors linked her killing to an alleged theft of more than $500 worth of drugs from a dealer who had threatened her. Despite numerous tips the case went cold and the family says people who know what happened have not come forward. Crime Stoppers increased its reward to $9,500 on the sixth anniversary, producing new tips now being reviewed by investigators.

Maples was the mother of four children; three were adopted together and live in Arizona while one remains in Milton with his father. Does anyone in the area have information that could help bring justice for Brandy?
