Leslie Olivia Sheppard, 36, was murdered on September 27, 2011, during a daytime burglary at her parents’ rural home near Brandon, Rankin County, Mississippi. Resting at the house after a late work shift, Leslie was discovered by her father after he returned home and found her shot execution-style in the back of the head; a blanket or shawl had been placed over her head. Her car had been gone because her father had borrowed it, a detail investigators say may have led the intruders to target the home.

Investigators traced the crime to two men from Jackson, Walter Burton, 36, and Jermaine Tyler, 30, who drove to the area intending to burglarize rural homes. A stolen cellphone from an earlier burglary was used to call Leslie’s missing phone, and a fingerprint from that earlier break-in led to a man who implicated Burton and Tyler. A 9mm pistol recovered from Tyler’s vehicle at arrest was identified as the suspected murder weapon. Both men were charged with capital murder; in 2012 they pleaded guilty and received life sentences without parole with the family’s consent.

Does anyone have memories of Leslie, the Sheppard family, or information about the neighborhood around Brandon in 2011 that could add context to what happened that day?
