Leanne Cherwayne Austin, 37, was found dead in a Murfreesboro, Tennessee hotel room she was sharing with her boyfriend. She sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene on May 15, 2018. Her 30-year-old boyfriend, Brandon Robichaud, was identified as the suspect and taken into custody at the hotel after a citizen reported seeing him sitting in the middle of West Main Street, which prompted police involvement.

Robichaud was held at the Rutherford County jail without bond and was subsequently charged with first-degree murder. He later pleaded guilty to Austin’s murder; authorities say he is expected to be about 50 years old when he finishes his prison sentence.
