Veronica Sudette Broadnax, 30, was killed on November 14, 2015, in Reidsville, North Carolina. Known as Rahni, she was a nursing assistant and the mother of five sons, ages 1 to 11 at the time. She was at a gathering on the 800 block of Lindsey Street when shots were fired and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two men, Michael Carter, 18, and Desmonte Santiago, 24, were also shot and survived. Early in the investigation Antonio Sherod Scales, 45, was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter. Later, Spencer Thomas Fountain, 27, was arrested on charges of first-degree homicide and discharge of a barreled weapon inside an occupied dwelling resulting in serious injury; Fountain was held on a $45,000 secured bond.

Veronica’s death devastated her family and the community and left five young boys without their mother. If anyone at the gathering or nearby that night has information about the shooting, please come forward.
