On April 11, 2024, deputies conducting a welfare check at a Millett Road home in Minot, Maine, found two people dead. The victims were 19-year-old Emali Sallee, White/Caucasian female, and 20-year-old Tyson Peters. The Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit assisted; autopsies by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled Sallee’s death a homicide and Peters’ death a suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Authorities say Sallee and Peters had been in a relationship and that Sallee’s family reported she had been trying to end it. Investigators described the incident as isolated and identified Peters as the sole suspect in Sallee’s killing; with Peters deceased, the case was considered closed. The community in Minot was left grieving by this domestic violence tragedy.

If anyone knew Emali, her routines, or has information relevant to what happened, please come forward to assist with the record.
