Branda Mae Delight Basham, 22, was found dead along railroad tracks on Charleston’s West Side near Breece and Madison streets the morning of July 12, 2014. Police classified the death as a homicide; an autopsy found she had been shot three times, including wounds to her right cheek and chest.

Investigators say Basham had been working as a confidential informant for the Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Network Team and made controlled heroin purchases from Marlon Dewayne Ice Dixon in May 2014. Court filings allege Dixon arranged to meet Basham after midnight on July 12, confronted her about cooperating with police, displayed a 9 mm handgun, and shot her as she pleaded. Witnesses and physical evidence cited by police linked Dixon to the scene and to Basham before the killing; bloodstains on shoes tied to him reportedly contained her DNA.

Charleston police named Dixon a person of interest within a day, and by July 17 he had been charged with first-degree murder after surrendering and, according to reports, waiving Miranda rights and confessing. Does anyone have information about Basham’s movements that night or knew her connections in Charleston’s West Side?
