Talisha Danielle Crowder was 19 and a pre-med student at Pfeiffer University when she was shot to death on January 18, 2016. Her body was found in a parked car in an apartment lot at 311 N. Long St., slumped in the passenger seat with a gunshot wound to the left side of her skull.

Police say the shooter was her 20-year-old ex-boyfriend, Brandon Jerron Hawkins. He was accused of breaking into his parents’ gun safe earlier that day, stealing a loaded 9 mm handgun, leaving a note for his mother, then driving to Talisha’s home and asking to speak with her. Authorities reported Hawkins confessed, saying Talisha looked away for a second and he shot her.

Hawkins was charged with first-degree murder and larceny of a firearm; he later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and larceny and received a prison term. If anyone knew Talisha, her routines, or saw a 1991 Honda Accord around January 18, 2016, please come forward with information.
