A Louisville family lost two members in a violent home invasion on August 15, 2021. Vernon Leslie Lee Jr., 52, and his 9-year-old daughter Kaylee Lee were found in their Lyons Avenue home with multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. Vernon, born February 17, 1969, was described as a motorcycle enthusiast and an automobile mechanic.

Police concluded the deaths were homicides and investigators say evidence pointed to a home invasion and robbery. A safe in the residence had been emptied; the family later identified items taken from the home. Investigators reported a breakthrough more than six months later after reviewing phone records, video surveillance, and community tips. Two suspects were identified: Antonia Brown, 53, arrested in Louisville, and Antonio Sanderson, arrested in Tempe, Arizona, to await extradition. Both were charged with two counts of complicity to murder and complicity to robbery.

If anyone knew Vernon or Kaylee, or has information about the burglary and who targeted their home, please come forward.
