Karrie DeAnn Braswell was 24 when she was found dead at her home on April Drive in Augusta on March 7, 2019. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office determined the cause of death to be a gunshot wound and opened a suspicious death investigation.

Karrie was a mother, a tattoo artist and bartender, remembered by friends and family for her smile and big heart. Neighbors told investigators they had heard arguments and commotion at the residence she shared with her boyfriend, identified only as Donnie, and investigators examined the possibility of a domestic dispute in the hours and days before her death.

No arrests have been announced and no one has been publicly identified or charged in connection with Karrie’s homicide; the case remains open and unsolved. If anyone knew Karrie, frequented that neighborhood, or has information about the people who lived at the April Drive home, please come forward to assist the investigation.
