Kandace Hernandez was 20 and living in Richlands, North Carolina, when she was fatally shot at her home on Wilson Avenue on July 20, 2011. The couple had been married for more than three years.

Juan Carter Hernandez, described in the text as a Marine Corps deserter at the time, was later indicted by a grand jury in February 2013. His defense initially claimed self-defense. In 2014 he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder; as part of a plea deal two other charges related to an alleged assault on a government official while he was in jail were dropped. He was sentenced to between eight years and ten years and five months in prison. The family did not accept his apology and called the sentence insufficient.

Are there details about Kandace’s life in Richlands or witnesses to the July 20 argument that could help shed more light on what happened?
