Linda Faye Lloyd, 67, was killed at her home on Lynndale Street in Kennett, Missouri, on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2024. Police were dispatched about 6:43 p.m. after a report of a suicidal man armed with a gun. Officers found Lloyd inside the residence with a single gunshot wound and took a man identified at the scene as Tommy Lloyd into custody there.

Local reporting and obituary records identify Tommy Lloyd as Linda Lloyd’s son. Prosecutors charged him soon after the shooting; initial counts included first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use or possession of a firearm. He was booked into the Dunklin County Jail and held without bond while preliminary proceedings were scheduled and later rescheduled. Reporting through August 2026 documents the arrest and charges but does not establish any subsequent verdict, plea, conviction, or sentence.

Linda Lloyd had been born May 8, 1957, and had lost her husband, Tommy Allen Lloyd, earlier in 2024. She was buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Kennett. Does anyone have information about Linda’s final hours or about the events at the Lynndale Street residence on December 31, 2024?
