Dominique Clayton, a 32-year-old Black mother of four, was found fatally shot in the back of the head in her Oxford, Mississippi home on May 19, 2019. Her 8-year-old son discovered her body after returning from a weekend with his uncle. Investigators determined she was shot while sleeping.

The investigation focused on Matthew Kinne, a 38-year-old Oxford Police Department officer who had been in a romantic relationship with Clayton. Authorities say Kinne drove his patrol car to her residence while off-duty, entered the home, shot Clayton once in the head, then sent a text to her phone after the killing and discarded the shell casing from his service weapon. He was arrested the day after the body was found and charged with capital murder.

The case raised questions about abuse of position and concealment of a relationship by a sworn officer. Does anyone have information about Dominique’s life in Oxford or the relationship that might shed light on what led to this tragedy?
