Beth Chandra Lawson, a 40-year-old Tennessee Army National Guard veteran, was shot and killed at her Church Hill, Tennessee, apartment on January 27, 2017. She lived at the Church Hill Village Apartments on Holliston Mills Road with her husband and their young child. Police found her deceased after a morning shooting call; police identified her husband, Bryan Steven Lawson (also recorded as Bryan ’Steven’ Lawson), then 33, as the suspect.

Detectives recovered footage from an active home video surveillance system that reportedly showed an argument between the couple before Bryan Lawson fired a handgun, striking Beth while their small child stood beside her. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and felony reckless endangerment and held on a $250,000 bond. Lawson maintained he acted in self-defense, alleging years of abuse by his wife. In February 2019 he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment and received a 15-year prison sentence.

Did anyone in Church Hill know the Lawsons or have information about the household dynamics leading up to that January 2017 morning?
