Carolyn Sinclair, 25, was killed on December 18, 2011. Shawn said that they met at a crack house. The two of them went back to Shawn’s apartment to smoke the drugs they had just purchased. According to Shawn’s statement about the murders, Carolyn grabbed the remaining drugs and locked herself in the bathroom after they both smoked crack.

Shawn picked up an ax handle he had lying around and broke down the door to the bathroom. A struggle ensued over the drugs and Shawn beat Carolyn with the ax handle till she fell to the floor.

In Shawn’s statement, “he said that she remained conscious so he proceeded to choke her with his hands until she lost consciousness and died.”
