Jasmine Luquinta Powell was 29 when she was fatally shot on June 2, 2014, at her home on Pecan Street in Kountze, Texas. She was found on the front porch with a gunshot wound to the back of her head. Her ex-boyfriend, 43-year-old Sandy Ray Irvine, also shot Powell’s new boyfriend, Terrion Moffett, four times in the back.

Irvine was charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He changed his plea to guilty, avoided a trial, and was sentenced to 50 years for Powell’s murder and 20 years for the aggravated assault of Moffett; he was eligible for parole in 25 years. Powell was raising her two younger siblings after their mother had died, and her brother, sister and Moffett gave impact statements at sentencing.

The case drew strong attention locally and underscores the toll of domestic violence on families and communities. If anyone knew Jasmine or has information about her life or the events leading up to June 2, 2014, please share what you know.
