In the early morning hours of January 2, 2024, police in Ellisville, Mississippi, were dispatched to a home on Dobson Street for a welfare check. Inside the residence, they made a grim discovery. The bodies of 33-year-old Nichole Coney and her 38-year-old husband, Terrance Coney, were found. Both had sustained fatal gunshot wounds in what investigators have described as an apparent murder-suicide stemming from domestic violence.
Preliminary investigations conducted by the Ellisville Police Department suggest that Terrance Coney was the primary suspect in his wife's death. It is believed that he shot and killed Nichole before taking his own life. The tragic event left the community grappling with the devastating consequences of domestic abuse. Due to the nature of the incident, with the sole suspect also being deceased, no arrests were made in the case. The investigation into the circumstances that led to the murder-suicide is ongoing.
