On the morning of July 26, 2022, police responded to a call of shots fired at the Creekwood Mobile Home Park. Upon arrival, they discovered Fields deceased inside her residence, the victim of fatal gunshot wounds in what was quickly determined to be a homicide.

had escalated with a yet-unidentified suspect. The Burton Police Department initiated a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death, urging the community to come forward with any information that might lead to the apprehension of the person or persons responsible.
Despite the initial investigation and pleas to the public for assistance, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests or charges filed in connection with the murder of Scheryle Turkessha-Marie Fields.
