The tragic case of Alexis Walls' murder in Bryan, Texas, highlights the devastating consequences of domestic violence fueled by jealousy and unfounded accusations.
On February 7, 2025, 23-year-old Alexis Walls was fatally shot multiple times in her home by her common-law husband, Brandon Dickerson, then 29 or 30 years old, according to local police. The couple shared an 18-month-old son, who was present in the house—and reportedly just feet away—during the violent attack. Court records and police reports indicate that Dickerson accused Walls of cheating, leading him to grab a rifle and open fire. Investigators later confirmed she suffered **15 gunshot wounds**.
After the shooting, Dickerson called 911 himself, admitting that he had killed the mother of his child by shooting her multiple times.
Bryan police responded to the residence in the 500 block of East 18th Street around 12:40 a.m., where they discovered Walls deceased and the toddler still inside the home. The child was unharmed physically but left in the aftermath of unimaginable trauma. Walls was described by prosecutors and family as a loving mother, daughter, and friend who brought light to those around her.
Dickerson was arrested and charged with murder, initially held in the Brazos County Jail on a $250,000 bond. On February 3, 2026—nearly one year after the killing—he pleaded guilty in the 85th District Court before Judge Kyle Hawthorne. His defense attorney noted that Dickerson expressed sincere remorse for his actions that night. The judge sentenced him to **50 years in prison**, the maximum penalty under the plea agreement.
This case underscores the often lethal intersection of jealousy, accusations of infidelity, and access to firearms in domestic relationships. The Brazos County District Attorney's Office emphasized the broader context of domestic violence, noting that Walls' young son—now around 2.5 years old—is being raised by her parents. Her memory, they said, will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
Incidents like this serve as a somber reminder of the need for awareness, support systems, and intervention in potentially abusive situations before they escalate to irreversible tragedy. Resources for those experiencing domestic violence remain available through local shelters and national hotlines.
