On the night of April 18, 2022, Jenefer Holt Herron, 52, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Circle K at 1739 Walton Way in Augusta after an argument that began inside the store. Reports and later court filings say another woman, identified as Yelena Buckner, began causing a disturbance inside the store and directed threatening and racist remarks at Herron. The confrontation continued outside, where Herron was shot and taken to Augusta University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Authorities reported the suspect fled in a gray SUV, and investigators located Buckner and took her into custody the next morning; reporting at the time said she was charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Herron’s obituary described her as an Augusta native who volunteered with Mercy Ministries and enjoyed family beach trips and motorcycle rides to the mountains.

Does anyone have information about the moments before Herron left the store or saw the gray SUV in the parking lot?
