Betty Diane Sexton, 43, of Gastonia, North Carolina, was shot and killed on February 17, 2015 after calling police to her home on Union Road to remove unwanted guests. Sexton was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Neely was placed on administrative leave while the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation reviewed the shooting. Sexton’s family said she was in the process of putting the musket down when the officer fired. The shooting came amid heightened scrutiny: it was the second fatal police shooting by Gastonia officers responding to a domestic disturbance in about two weeks and drew strong public and media attention.

If anyone knew Betty, was at the scene, or has information about the events on February 17, 2015, please share what you can.
