Priscilla Alethia Mason, 28, was shot and killed on September 14, 2004, while working at a Cash Advance store in the Duke Crossing Shopping Center in Durham, North Carolina. She was a single mother who left behind a 6-year-old daughter. The shooting occurred during an argument at the store; her boyfriend, Antuanne Shaw, carried out the killing and fled the scene.

Shaw had a prior history of violence toward Mason — in 2002 he pleaded guilty to abusing her — and investigators later documented a criminal record that included assault charges and convictions for weapons and drug offenses. Shaw was arrested and charged in connection with Mason’s death, later pleading guilty to second-degree murder and receiving a prison sentence of 23 to 28 years.

The case drew attention to the dangers of domestic violence and the need for support for victims and families. If anyone knew Priscilla, her routines, or saw anything relevant around September 14, 2004, those details could still matter.
