On September 20, 2022, 42-year-old Lashondra Monique Wilder was found dead at her Calera, Alabama, home after a family member requested a welfare check. She had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The next morning a 17-year-old male family member and student was taken into custody; authorities did not release his name or the precise relationship to Wilder. The local school district was briefly placed on lockdown until the suspect was arrested.

Wilder, known as Shon, was born May 12, 1980, in Birmingham. A Wenonah High School and Herzing College graduate with a degree in business management, she worked for about a decade at T-Mobile in leadership roles and is remembered for her caring nature. Motive, specific charges, and any legal outcome have not been made public. Does anyone who knew Lashondra or saw something that night have information to share?
