Deshon died from burns after her boyfriend, Martin Ray Fitzgerald, 43, sprayed her and her niece with gasoline and then set a newspaper on fire and threw it at them, igniting the gasoline. Her niece sustained burns over forty percent of her body and survived by jumping out of a window.

Fitzgerald pled guilty to first-degree reckless homicide (amended from intentional), first-degree reckless injury, and related charges. He was sentenced to thirty-five years in prison and fifteen years of extended supervision.

Please Share Information on Loved Ones & Friends

We at Le Chrysalis are attempted to gain as much knowledge about every Victim of Intimate Partner Violence (Domestic Violence) as possible so that we can share their stories and keep their Lives Alive through their Stories. We know that by learning what they went through and who they were we can help protect future victims from going through the same fate. Their Hobbies; their Jobs; their Likes and Dislikes; their Stories; their Pictures!…the more that is shared, the more we can Remember!

Please share any information you may have about a Victim! Let's not only Cherish the Names, Stories and Lives of those that have lost their fight to Intimate Partner Violence (Domestic Violence), but take what they went through and take something positive out of it! We understand the pain, there are 3 on this list that are our Family members… Just know, that Together we Can and WILL make a difference!
