Syibrieka Underwood was 27 when she was found dead on the morning of July 28, 2021. A state trooper discovered her body in the passenger seat of her white Ford Focus, parked on the side of U.S. Highway 82 near Duncanville in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Investigators determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to her right temple, and she was initially found without identification.

An anonymous online tip prompted investigators to focus on Underwood’s 32-year-old ex-boyfriend, Terek Herron-Antone. The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit alleges a physical altercation at Herron-Antone’s home during which Underwood was shot, and that her body was later placed in her car and abandoned on the highway. A circular earring with an S, matching one Underwood wore in crime scene photos, was recovered in Herron-Antone’s yard and is reported as part of the evidence.

Anyone with information about Syibrieka, her movements before July 28, 2021, or who saw the white Ford Focus on U.S. Highway 82 is urged to come forward.
