She was only 23. She was a mother. She was loved.
And in a moment fueled by unchecked jealousy, her life was taken far too soon.

Alexis Walls was tragically shot and killed by her husband, Brandon Dickerson, inside what should have been the safest place of all—their home. Believing, without proof, that Alexis had been unfaithful, Dickerson fired fifteen gunshots, ending her life while their 18-month-old son slept nearby, unaware that his world was about to change forever.

🔫 A Crime Born of Control and Jealousy
Investigators later confirmed that Dickerson confessed to the killing and ultimately pleaded guilty to murder. But no confession, no plea, and no sentence can undo the devastation left behind. What began as suspicion escalated into irreversible violence—an all-too-familiar pattern in cases of domestic abuse.

👶 A Child Left Without His Mother
Perhaps the most haunting detail is the silence of the nursery next door. While violence unfolded, a toddler slept—his future altered in seconds. Alexis will never watch her son grow, never hear his first full sentences, never hold him on his hardest days. That loss echoes far beyond the crime scene.

🌸 Remembering the Woman She Was
Those who knew Alexis remember her warmth, her kindness, and the way she made others feel seen. She was more than a victim; she was a daughter, a friend, a mother whose love filled rooms and whose absence now leaves a painful void.

🚨 A Warning Written in Tragedy
Alexis’s death is a stark reminder of how jealousy and possessiveness—when ignored or normalized—can turn deadly. It calls attention to the urgent need for early intervention, awareness, and protection for those trapped in dangerous relationships.

🕊️ Her Light Still Lives On
Though her life was cut short, Alexis Walls is not forgotten. She lives on through her family, through the stories shared in her name, and through the love she gave so freely. Remembering her means speaking her name—and recognizing that love should never hurt, control, or kill. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, help is available. Speaking up can save a life.
