Brittany Marie Southwell was 26 when she was shot and killed in her Jackson, Michigan, home on November 8, 2016. Video later recovered from the defendant’s phone showed him kicking in the door and opening fire; Southwell was struck by a bullet that entered her side and punctured her lungs, causing her death.

The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Anthony Gelia, reportedly streamed the attack on Facebook Live. Gelia was arrested and charged with murder; at trial the Facebook Live footage was introduced as evidence. Southwell was a mother of three and is remembered by family and friends as a devoted parent.

Did anyone in the Jackson area see or hear about the social media exchanges that preceded this attack?
