Kristi Wilson Collier, 42, of Henderson, Texas, was found dead at a Rusk County home on July 27, 2021. A welfare check led authorities to her body; the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators say Coy Jones Sr., also from Henderson, admitted to family members that he shot Collier during a physical altercation. After a brief search involving a drone, patrol staff and a Texas Department of Criminal Justice K9 unit, Jones was located at Mount Hope Cemetery and taken into custody. He was charged with murder and booked into the Rusk County Jail. The Texas Rangers were called in to assist and the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office sought additional information and witnesses.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw or heard anything around July 27, 2021, that could help clarify what happened?
