Johnnie Patricia Alston, 51, was shot and killed in her Drummonds, Tennessee, home on September 20, 2014. She worked as a financial analyst for the Naval Personnel Command. The events began in the early morning when her son called 911 to report an argument between his parents that escalated to the sound of a gunshot. Officers who responded to the Andy Drive residence found Mrs. Alston deceased from a gunshot wound.

Investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office focused on her husband, Dwight M. Alston, then 53. He turned himself in the same day, was arrested and charged with homicide, and was booked into the Tipton County jail held without bond. The case underscores the tragic consequences of a domestic dispute that ended in lethal violence.

If anyone knew Johnnie Patricia Alston or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
