Kelly Lawson, 36, of Fort Worth, Texas, was murdered on June 19, 2018. In the days before her death she was seeking a protective order against ex-boyfriend Jaime Brown; police records state Brown had earlier threatened to kill her and had slashed her tires. On June 15, 2018, Brown kidnapped Lawson. Early the next morning she tried to escape at an intersection in the Overtown Woods area of Fort Worth; neighbors later found her topless body that morning. Scene evidence indicated she fought, with clothing ripped as if she had been forced to stay.

Jaime Brown, 38, of Longview, Texas, was arrested and charged with capital murder. He was taken into custody in Longview, gave a statement to investigators admitting he shot Lawson, and was being held in the Gregg County jail with bond set at $150,000. Police have not elaborated on a motive beyond the prior relationship between Lawson and Brown.

Kelly’s family has urged attention to domestic violence and to getting help. Does anyone with knowledge of Kelly, the Overtown Woods intersection, or the days around June 15–19, 2018 have information to share with investigators?
