Sholonda Shanice Dixon, 29, was shot and killed in her home in Copperas Cove, Texas, in the early hours of July 16, 2026. Officers were dispatched at about 12:28 a.m. after reports that a man had shot a woman; Dixon was found in her bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head and died despite life-saving efforts. Dixon’s three daughters, ages 12, 8 and 6, were inside the house when the shooting occurred; court documents say the 12-year-old and 8-year-old were told to leave the bedroom while the 6-year-old stayed with Dixon and that one child was still in the room during the shooting.

Investigators say the children identified 31-year-old L’Michael Detron Amos of Killeen as the person involved. Ring doorbell footage reportedly shows Amos arriving around 11:51 p.m. on July 15, lingering at the front door, then moving toward the rear and entering through a window. Witnesses gave Amos’s identity and vehicle description; Killeen police located and arrested him.

Dixon was head administrator for the God Speed Track Club and was remembered for helping families and organizing events. Her death left three young daughters in need; community members began raising money and Dixon’s mother reportedly stepped in to help care for the children. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Dixon and her family, please share tips with investigators.
