Sherralann Patricia Longmire, 61, was found dead from a gunshot wound in her Columbia, Mississippi, home on May 20, 2022. Officers responding to a welfare check at a Margaret Street residence encountered gunfire upon arrival, which triggered an 11-hour standoff. During the standoff her brother, Tony Carleith Wilson, then 58, reportedly fired at officers multiple times before surrendering in the early hours of the next morning.

After officers secured the scene and entered the house, they discovered Longmire’s body. Wilson was arrested and charged with murder and with four counts of aggravated assault on a police officer for firing at law enforcement during the standoff; the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation handled the officer-involved shooting portion of the inquiry. In October 2022 a Marion County grand jury returned indictments for first-degree murder and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.

Longmire is remembered as a wife, mother, and grandmother who worked in healthcare as a respiratory therapist and later as a registered nurse. Does anyone have information about Longmire’s last days or the events on Margaret Street that could help investigators?
