Ex-Mississippi lawmaker, 40, is shot in the back of the head and killed while mowing the lawn next to a burnt-out trailer where her sister-in-law's body was found six months ago
A former Mississippi lawmaker was found shot dead during the weekend in a rural area outside the burned home where her sister-in-law was found dead after Christmas.
Ashley Henley, 40, was a Republican who served in the state House from January 2016 to January 2020 from a district in DeSoto County.
The North Mississippi Herald reported that Henley's body was found Sunday around 10pm in rural Yalobusha County, about 70 miles south of DeSoto County.
Yalobusha County coroner Ronnie Stark told the Commercial Appeal on Monday that the time of Henley's death had not yet been determined.
Stark told WMC-TV that Henley had been mowing grass at home before she was killed.
