Kila Nanette Spencer, 47, was shot and killed in the unfenced backyard of a residence on Stetson Avenue in Killeen, Texas, on December 22, 2022. Her death was ruled a homicide and the Killeen Police Department’s Robbery/Homicide Unit led the investigation.

On August 31, 2023, police charged 35-year-old Quinten Lovell Brown with her murder. Authorities say a criminal complaint was filed with the Bell County District Attorney’s Office, a warrant issued, and Brown was arraigned with bond set at $200,000. Brown was already in custody at the Burnet County Jail on an unrelated charge when the warrant was served; he was arraigned by Burnet County Chief Magistrate Tinney.

Spencer’s family and friends remember her as a beautiful person inside and out. Does anyone with information about Spencer, the Stetson Avenue residence, or the events of December 22, 2022, have details to share?
