Towanda La’Shawn Chambers Coffey, 32, of Matthews, North Carolina, was shot and killed on July 29, 2008, in Waxhaw. According to accounts, her estranged husband, Gregory Coffey, confronted her at a gas station, forced her into a car at gunpoint and drove until the vehicle struck a wall. Towanda was found with a gunshot wound to the head and later died.

Gregory Coffey was charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping and was held in the county jail without bond pending court proceedings. Towanda had recently filed for a restraining order and family members said she had been afraid of Gregory, even declining to testify in a prior assault case. She left behind two children, ages 13 and 18, and two grandchildren; her family remembered her as a loving mother and grandmother.

Does anyone have information about Towanda’s final movements that day or who may have seen the couple at the gas station?
