Tony Maurice Braswell Jr., 21, was found dead on June 17, 2016, in Middlesex, North Carolina. A family member discovered his body in the front yard of their home on West Old Spring Hope Road; he had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. The discovery early that morning left the family and community in shock.

The Nash County Sheriff’s Office arrested four people within hours. Shannon Sentell Jones, 33, was charged with first-degree murder and held without bond. Mallory Nicole Johnson, 17, and Madison Deann Johnson, 21, were each charged with accessory before the fact to felony and conceal or failure to notify death of a person and held on $25,000 secure bonds. Danny Scott Womack, 21, faced the same accessory and concealment charges and was held on a $40,000 secure bond. Investigators said the suspects were known to Tony and his family and were still searching for a fifth person believed involved; the motive had not been determined.

Tony’s family remembered him as someone who enjoyed fishing, playing basketball, and video games, and who brought laughter to those around him. Can anyone with information about that June 2016 morning or the people involved please come forward?
