Brandon Dickerson, 30, received a 50-year prison sentence on February 3, 2026, after pleading guilty to murdering his 23-year-old common-law wife, Alexis Walls, whom he shot 15 times in their Bryan, Texas home on February 7, 2025.
Shooting Incident
Dickerson called 911 around 1 a.m., confessing to killing Walls over unfounded cheating suspicions; their 18-month-old autistic son was unharmed at the East 18th Street residence near Texas A&M’s College Station campus. Bryan Police found her dead on arrival; he admitted the jealous rage motive during questioning.
Legal Proceedings
Facing initial murder charges on $300,000 bond at Brazos County Detention Center, Dickerson’s plea before 85th District Judge Kyle Hawthorne avoided trial; he’ll transfer to Texas Department of Criminal Justice custody. His attorneys expressed remorse, noting full responsibility acceptance.
Victim’s Legacy
Walls, dubbed a “hurricane” by family for her bubbly, welcoming nature, was a devoted mother to Zaylen (now raised by her parents), youngest of three siblings, and friend to all—her light endures despite the tragedy. Prosecutors honored her as irreplaceable amid grief.
