Linda Sue Mitchell, a 57-year-old White woman, was shot inside her home on Bittersweet Drive in Bassett, Virginia, on the night of January 29, 2013, at about 11:15 p.m. She was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center but died of her injuries on January 31, 2013.

Authorities quickly identified her 64-year-old husband, David Leon Mitchell, as the primary suspect. He was taken into custody and initially charged with aggravated malicious wounding; after Linda’s death the charges were upgraded to first-degree murder and the felony use of a firearm in the commission of a murder. He was held without bond in the Henry County Jail.

Does anyone have information about Linda’s life in Bassett or the circumstances that night?
