In the early morning hours of May 28, 2022, a domestic dispute at the Auburn Apartments in Tupelo, Mississippi, ended with 21-year-old Kavon Usher shot dead inside the apartment he shared with his girlfriend. Lee County Sheriff’s deputies found Usher around 5 a.m. with a fatal gunshot wound. Authorities said both Usher and his girlfriend were the only people inside the apartment when the shooting occurred and a 9-millimeter handgun was recovered at the scene.

The girlfriend was initially taken into custody as a person of interest, questioned and released while investigators examined ballistics, phone records and her statement. Investigators later said inconsistencies between her account and the physical evidence led to her arrest. On June 1, 2022, 20-year-old Rachel S. Brown was charged with second-degree murder; her bond was set at $750,000.

If anyone witnessed the incident at the Auburn Apartments or has information about that morning, please share what is known.
