A small East Texas town is in mourning following the tragic death of Denyle Pierce, a 47-year-old discount store clerk, who was allegedly shot during an armed robbery at a Family Dollar Store in Maud. Pierce’s family describes her as a caring mother and a community role model, dedicated to helping raise children in her neighborhood. “We want to see justice for my sister,” says Tammie Perry, Pierce’s sister, expressing the family’s desire to pursue the death penalty against the suspect.
In a show of solidarity, the community has organized a candlelight vigil and a bake sale to support the Pierce family, reflecting the deep impact of her loss. Law enforcement reports that the suspect, 27-year-old Keyshawn Wickware, was arrested shortly after the incident, with surveillance footage revealing Pierce complied with him before he shot her. As the family mourns, they find strength in the outpouring of support and the hope for justice.
