Leslie Perkins, 30

MN, Minneapolis

August 6, 1992

Leslie's murder has left her 4 young Children to grow up without their Mother in their lives

Leslie was found dead in her bedroom. She had been strangled. Her boyfriend, Verdell Shannon, 30, apparently strangled her, then called a friend in tears and asked her to come over. The friend notified police who found Shannon hiding in a nearby garage. He admitted to police that he choked Leslie.

Earlier in the summer, Leslie had moved into a battered women's shelter to escape abuse by her boyfriend. She left on June 25th to move into transitional housing. Two young children were asleep in another bedroom when she was killed.

Shannon was charged with second-degree murder.
