Jazmyne Lyneice Gibson was 21 when she was found dead in her apartment at the Copper Beech Townhomes in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on January 12, 2015. The cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the back of her head. The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office investigated her death as a homicide and identified a person of interest.

Investigators focused on Gibson’s 21-year-old ex-boyfriend, Korbin Tyler-Lavern Thomas. A male caller who initially hung up without giving an address led police to the scene. Thomas was taken into custody and charged with open murder and felony firearm. A jail call in which Thomas admitted involvement to his father was played at trial; Thomas testified he did not know the gun was loaded when he shot Gibson.

A jury convicted Thomas of second-degree murder. In October 2015 a judge sentenced him to 15 to 50 years in prison and ordered $19,470 in fees and restitution. Does anyone have memories of Jazmyne or information about her time at Western Michigan University that could help paint a clearer picture of her life?
