Heather Kirkwood, 45, was shot and killed on July 13, 2020, in an outdoor smoking area at her Electrolux workplace in Springfield, Tennessee. The shooting occurred about 6:54 p.m. in the company parking lot on Industrial Drive after her ex-boyfriend, 38-year-old Anthony T. Brown, approached her. First responders from the Springfield Police Department, Robertson County EMS, and the Springfield Fire Department found Kirkwood with gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Brown fled in a black Dodge Charger and was identified quickly as the suspect. A warrant for first-degree murder was issued, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation placed him on its most wanted list, and he was captured following a five-day manhunt during a traffic stop by Mt. Juliet Police. A Robertson County Grand Jury indicted him for first-degree premeditated murder, a jury convicted him in Robertson County Circuit Court, and he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole; an appeal was later denied, affirming the trial court’s judgment.

If anyone knew Heather, her routines, or witnessed the parking lot that evening, please share information that could help fill in what happened.
