Jasmine Andrews was 33 when she was found dead in the garage of the Jeffersonville, Indiana home she had shared with her former husband in February 2022. Investigators determined she had been fatally shot. Suspicion centered on her ex-husband, Jesse Andrews Jr., who initially said Jasmine had taken her own life; investigators found his accounts inconsistent with the crime scene and arrested him on a murder charge.

A December 2022 trial ended in a hung jury and a mistrial, with prosecutors saying jurors were confused by testimony about gunshot residue testing that could not be admitted as evidence. Prosecutors later negotiated a plea: Jesse Andrews Jr. pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and faced a likely six-year sentence, with credit for time served estimating release in a little over three years. Family reactions were split — her father and brother called the outcome a miscarriage of justice, while her mother said she forgave him and believed he truly loved Jasmine. Family members described the relationship as strained and violent, and said Jasmine had been trying to leave him.

Did anyone who knew Jasmine or the couple observe signs that her attempts to leave were escalating before February 2022?
