On the morning of Sunday, December 4, 2022, 37-year-old Gamia Lechelle Stuart of Evansville, Indiana, was found fatally shot on a concrete pad between two apartment buildings in the 1600 block of Clayton Avenue. Responding officers arrived about 9:00 a.m. after reports of shots fired; emergency medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene. She had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators learned Stuart had been on the phone with a close friend moments before the shooting, saying she was being followed by her ex-boyfriend while returning from a new partner’s residence; the call ended after she indicated his presence and the friend reported hearing her scream. Police records show the same man had earlier threatened to kill her and himself and had once pointed a firearm at her. Witnesses saw a male flee in a white Chevrolet Tahoe; the vehicle was later found locked in a nearby lot with a handgun on the front passenger seat and shell casings matching a .45 caliber weapon were recovered near the body.

Authorities identified 44-year-old Clifton Bryant Fletcher, a former partner, as the primary suspect and took him into custody on preliminary murder charges. What additional information can someone who knew Gamia or who was in that neighborhood share?
