Reinetta Ann Morrow Lewis, 62, was found fatally shot in her front yard on the 900 block of East Bunche Street in Dothan, Alabama, on March 6, 2024. A retired postal worker and Chicago native who spent 35 years with the United States Postal Service, she is remembered as a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

Witnesses saw a suspect run back into the residence after the shooting; that individual was later identified as Lewis’s 67-year-old ex-husband, Ansel Lewis. Police established a perimeter and negotiators attempted contact for about an hour before the Special Response Team forced entry. A robot sent into the home located a male matching Ansel’s description who appeared deceased; officers confirmed he had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The investigation concluded the incident was a murder-suicide with an apparent domestic motive.

If anyone knew Reinetta, her family, or saw activity on East Bunche Street that day, please come forward with information that might help complete the picture.
