Kimberly Davis Sledge, 51, of Pelzer, North Carolina, was found dead at her home on Berry Road on January 29, 2014, after a 911 call shortly after 10 p.m. Deputies arriving at the scene discovered her deceased; the Greenville County Coroner, Parks Evans, determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.

Reports say a 10-year-old boy in the home heard an argument between his mother and her husband, John Calvin Sledge, and saw the man on top of her before pushing him away. The child later heard a loud boom that shook the house and then found his mother in the guest bathroom with a gunshot wound to the back of the head. The boy identified John Sledge as the suspect when he called 911.

John Calvin Sledge, 48 at the time, was arrested after being stopped on Highway 25 and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. He was later convicted of murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and unlawful conduct toward a child and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Did anyone in the Pelzer area know Kimberly or her family and have details that might add context to what happened that night?
