Lakresha Sommerville, a 39-year-old Black woman, was found shot to death in the passenger seat of her car on July 19, 2019, in Aliceville, Alabama. Her mother had reported her missing from Ardmore, Tennessee, the day before, fearing she had been kidnapped. Officers discovered Lakresha’s body after responding to a stolen vehicle report; the driver, identified as her estranged husband Fred Sommerville, fled and officers fired at the car to stop it. Lakresha was determined to have been deceased for several hours.

Events the night before included the fatal shooting of 74-year-old Bruce Cosman outside his Ardmore home after he investigated noises in his backyard. Authorities say a history of domestic violence existed between Lakresha and her estranged husband. Fred Sommerville was arrested on multiple charges including attempt to elude, theft of property, abuse of a corpse and reckless endangerment, and was later charged with capital murder in connection with both Cosman’s death and the killing of Lakresha, the second charge alleging capital murder of a person inside a vehicle.

Are there details about Lakresha’s last known movements in Ardmore or Aliceville that anyone can share?
