On Sunday, July 6, 2025, 34-year-old Iesha Vienna Listenbee was shot and killed outside her home on Arizona Drive in Verona, Mississippi. Verona Police say an argument between two women escalated in the late afternoon, and a single gunshot fatally wounded Listenbee; officers were called about 4:45 p.m. and her body was sent to the state medical examiner’s office for autopsy.

Authorities identified a person of interest and made an arrest. Ashley Kuante Gray, 34, was taken into custody and charged with Listenbee’s murder; Gray is being held in the Lee County jail on $2 million bond. Investigators have not released details about what led to the dispute.

Listenbee was born in Tupelo on February 17, 1991, and was described by loved ones as caring and thoughtful. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Verona Police Department or Crimestoppers of Northeast Mississippi.
