In the early morning hours of May 25, 2016, 39-year-old Rachel Michele Chisum of Atkins, Arkansas, was found inside her vehicle on James Circle in Russellville after it had veered off the road and struck a fence. Officers arrived after a disturbance call just before 8 a.m. and discovered Chisum inside the still-running car suffering from fatal gunshot wounds.

At the scene, 42-year-old William Edward Gray of Russellville was taken into custody. Court documents say Gray and Chisum had been in a romantic relationship that had ended; Gray reportedly admitted to the shooting, told officers Chisum was busting up his car and led them to the gun on his front patio. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, tried, and a jury found him guilty. He received a forty-year sentence plus a fifteen-year enhancement for using a firearm; an appeal was later denied.

Rachel Chisum was described as a loving mother to three children and a daughter, sister, and aunt. Does anyone have information about Rachel’s life in Atkins or the days leading up to May 25, 2016?
