Annie Ford, a 48-year-old Black / African American woman, was shot and killed at her Appleton, Wisconsin home on September 21, 2017. The killing followed a domestic dispute between Ford and her boyfriend, Johnny Scott, that evening; police had been called to the residence twice before the final confrontation. The dispute reportedly involved arguments over money and a television and ended when Scott shot Ford.

Johnny Scott was arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide. In April 2021 Scott, then 62, pleaded no contest to the charge and was convicted; the court imposed a mandatory life sentence with parole eligibility deferred until a substantial portion of the term is served. The case began as a domestic disturbance and resulted in Ford’s death.

If anyone knew Annie, her household, or witnessed events at the residence that night, please share what might help clarify what happened.
