In the days before she was killed in a suspected murder-suicide, Mississippi mother Jennifer Sheffield gushed in a TikTok video over her estranged husband, Brandon Sheffield, who is accused of shooting her before turning the weapon on himself.
“So, I’m about to be a newly single mom, and I am in the middle of divorce,” Jennifer said in a clip shared on Dec. 10.
“My husband has been incredible though, really and truly,” she continued. “We’re working together, everything’s great, we’re splitting everything down the middle.”

And the praise didn’t stop there.
Jennifer — whose account on the platform boasts some 15,000 followers — noted that she and Brandon have strived to be “very civil” during the divorce proceedings and that they hoped to remain that way for the sake of their daughter. She added that she was also grateful her husband would be able to help support their child while she worked to figure out her finances in the meantime.
“I’m going to be on my own, single income right now,” Sheffield said. “And he’ll be helping with her, supporting her and I’m really thankful for that and that I’ll not have to worry so much about supporting her. However, I will be on a very limited income with buying a new house and paying a mortgage and all that stuff.”
Both Jennifer and Brandon Sheffield were found dead inside a home in Brandon just days after Christmas, on Dec. 28, the Dark Horse Press reported. Officers were called to the residence that morning by concerned relatives, who requested a welfare check, citing obvious signs of foul play.
Brandon Police Department chief Joseph French told the outlet it “appears that Brandon Sheffield shot Jennifer Sheffield and then shot himself,” but did not offer any other details.
They were both pronounced dead on the scene. No information was provided regarding the couple’s daughter, who was reportedly home at the time of the grisly incident.
An investigation into the matter is ongoing.
