On April 6, 2017, 60-year-old Betsy Baker Raines was shot and killed at the Casey, Simmons and Bryant law firm in Jackson, Tennessee. Raines, an administrative assistant at the firm, was found with a gunshot wound to the back of her head, and was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The office appeared ransacked after the attack.

A former employee, Shurnue Bratton, who had been terminated as a legal secretary in late March 2017, was taken into custody later that same morning. Bratton admitted to shooting Raines, stealing Raines’s car, purse, and phone, and told investigators she had discarded the firearm. Authorities recovered a 9mm shell casing in Bratton’s possession that matched the caliber used in the shooting. Bratton was charged with first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, and tampering with evidence; a judge ordered a mental evaluation and advised her to obtain counsel.

If anyone worked at or near the law firm in April 2017 or has information about the events that morning, please come forward.
