Katherine Elizabeth Sinclair, 23, was shot in the head in the garage of her boyfriend Gregory Burroughs’ Laurel, Mississippi home on the night of June 1, 2017 and died at Forrest General Hospital the next day. Burroughs initially told police Sinclair had taken her own life, but investigators found a history of volatile messages in which Burroughs had threatened to kill Sinclair and noted inconsistencies with the suicide account.

Physical evidence was conflicting: a gun was found in Sinclair’s right hand though she was left-handed, the fatal wound was behind her right ear and from a distance rather than a close-contact shot, and gunshot residue appeared on Sinclair’s right palm and on Burroughs’ left palm despite him being right-handed. A holster recovered near Sinclair was later lost after an evidence-room flood.

A Jones County grand jury indicted Burroughs for manslaughter and the case was tried in Franklin County. After seven days of testimony presenting the threats and disputed forensic details, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Does anyone have information about Sinclair, her movements that night, or contacts who might clarify the remaining questions?
