Nakeitha Gibson, 23, was killed in her Dallas apartment on July 3, 2005. Shamy returned about 9 PM, found Nakeitha and Pearson playing a video game, and went to shower before they planned to go to a club. While Shamy was in the shower she heard the front door open, Nakeitha say Oh, it’s Brandon, then a single gunshot. Shamy ran out to find Nakeitha falling and bleeding from the head, mouth, nose and ears; the fatal wound was a gunshot to the head between the eyebrows. Pearson told others Nakeitha had shot herself and that the shooting was an accident. Blood and footprints were reported tracked through the living room at the scene.

Pearson was arrested and charged with Nakeitha’s murder. He was convicted; on appeal he challenged the sufficiency of the evidence and the denial of a suppression motion, but the Texas Court of Appeals, Fifth District, affirmed the trial court’s judgment. Does anyone have information about Nakeitha’s final hours or the events inside the apartment that night?
