Mississippi man shoots sister in head during argument, now accused of her murder

During an argument, a 40-year-old Mississippi man shot his sister in the head, killing her, police said.

On May 15, 2020, police said Brian Keith Greer, now 41, had an argument with his sister, Heather Hearn, while at a camper park in Bovina, Mississippi.

Greer then shot Hearn in the head before fleeing from the scene, authorities said.

Hearn was airlifted to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, where she died from her injuries in June 2020, officials said.

Greer was found and taken into custody on May 16, 2020, as police say he was charged with aggravated assault at the time.

According to authorities, police found a small-caliber gun and Greer’s sister’s stolen vehicle was abandoned about seven miles away from the spot Greer was found.

On Sept. 15, WJTV reported a two-count indictment was handed down on Greer by a Warren County Grand Jury.

Greer is now charged with murder in the death of his sister, as well as possession of a weapon after a felony conviction, officials said.

Greer is currently in the Leake County Correctional Facility serving a six-year sentence for possession of precursor of drugs with intent to manufacture, WJTV reported.

He was indicted as a habitual offender also, since he has prior felony convictions, authorities said.
