On Friday October 2, 2020, 24 year old single mother Alyssa Burkett was shot and stabbed to death in broad daylight in front of her place of work where she had just pulled in to park and start her day.  Witnesses looked on as her assailant, described as a black man, emerged from his vehicle with a gun in his hand, approached the driver's side window pointed his gun at Alyssa's head and fired.  The shot crackled the glass, left a gaping hole in the window, struck Alyssa on the left side of her face and eye, but did not immediately kill her.  The shooter hurried to his vehicle and began backing out of his parking spot when he realized his victim was still alive.  So, he threw his vehicle into park, got out of the vehicle a second time, this time armed with a knife...and approached Alyssa once again, this time outside her car on the walkway leading up to her office.  Co-workers inside looked on helpless as they thought this was an active shooter situation.  When her assailant was finally done, he fled, leaving Alyssa on the ground, mortally wounded with 44 stab wounds in addition to the gunshot.  Who would want to murder this unassuming mother of one 15 month old baby girl?  Her mom, rushed to the scene, and provided an answer to that question, touching off an investigation that reveal something much more diabolical going on than what initially seemed like an open and shut case.
