Well liked 20-year-old woman, India Elise Mackey, was shot dead on her birthday, by her abusive 18-year-old boyfriend, Kevin Dixon. Subsequent investigations by the court have unearthed the fact Dixon had a criminal record for domestic violence, which Mackey was unaware of based on reports.

The two were living together in her home state of Michigan. Mackey was supporting the couple, while Dixon played video games all day (which she complained of on the social networking website Twitter.com). Mackey worked very hard in her job at Home Depot, traveling the country doing inventory work for the building supply chain.

Dixon flared up on Mackey's 20th birthday and began calling her insulting names such as "b*tch." Mackey, unnerved by his verbally abusive conduct, took out her phone and began filming him insulting her.

In the last frames of the video, Dixon is seen wiping then loading very damaging hollow point bullets into the magazine of his gun. He threatens to shoot her stating, "Rhese big four-five hollow tips gonna eat you up." Hollow point bullets expand in the body and shred vital internal organs, making the change of survival very slim, as seen in the murder of musician, John Lennon.

A neighbor witness Dixon yelling and speeding away. Police pulled him over for erratic driving and saw a mortally wounded Mackey in the passenger seat of the van. The arrested Dixon and took Mackey to the hospital, when she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Dixon has been charged with premeditated murder, carrying a concealed weapon and using an illegal weapon in committing a crime. He is facing life in prison. He has been held without bond. Dixon's mother was arrested shortly after, as police heard him stating to her that she is to go to the house and get rid of the gun. She was arrested on charges of evidence tampering and obstruction of justice.

Mackey's family is devastated at her passing and have been using it to warn the public not to stay in abusive relationships. It is hard to leave, especially when you think you love the person, but please leave for your health and safety. Someone who loves you would not be abusing you.

It's so sad when a life ends in violence, especially one so young. My condolences to India's family. She was a pretty, smart, hard working girl. I'm sorry for your loss.
