Just before 8 am on August 6, Kansas City police were sent to the scene.

Police found Braisen, a teacher, lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.

She was then pronounced dead.

Dawkins, of Blue Springs, Missouri, knew the victim, according to court documents.

A neighbor told detectives Braisen had recently broken up with him, as reported by NeedToKnow.

She said she heard gunshots while inside of her home, and had saw Dawkins reloading his gun.

She added that the victim was pregnant with his child at the time.

Braisen was the mother to five boys, according to People.

The neighbor identified Dawkins in a photographic lineup as the man who shot Braisen.

Others told police that Dawkins confessed to running her over in his car before shooting her multiple times.

Video allegedly showed Dawkins running over Braisen before shooting her several times at close range.

He continued shooting after walking away.

He inserted a new magazine into his gun to keep shooting before finally driving off.

He then fled the scene in his car.

Dawkins allegedly confessed to killing Braisen on the phone with family members.

He was located in Springfield, Missouri, where he was taken into custody after threatening suicide.

A GoFundMe was made for Braisen’s family to “provide on-going support for the five children she leaves behind.”

“Braisen was one of the most loving, kind and caring individuals you could ever meet. Braisen was loved by her students, families and the entire school community,” the fundraiser stated.

“She always saw the best in each of her students and supported them in being their best selves. She was an amazing mother who always put her boys first and will be deeply missed by her family, her work community and all who knew her.”

Dawkins is being held without bond.
