In late September 2015, Austin Alton Bruce was found dead in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the victim of a violent crime. The incident also left Candice Roper and her unborn child dead, turning the scene into a triple homicide that shocked the small city and its neighborhoods.

The Clarksdale Police Department opened an intensive investigation that identified a person of interest. A man named Duane Lake was arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with the deaths of Bruce, Roper, and the unborn child. The case was then set to move through the courts, while families remained in grief.

Are there details about Austin’s life in Clarksdale, or witnesses from September 2015, who can shed light on what happened?
