Overview
- Sherry Dawson, 33, was found shot multiple times on Nov. 5, 2025, at a northeast Houston self-storage facility, according to police.
- Charging documents allege the killing was retaliation after Kip Stitts paid $125,000 for cocaine that never arrived, based on statements from Dawson’s common-law husband.
- Surveillance video described by investigators shows a Ford F-250 following Dawson into the gated lot and a brief altercation before the truck left.
- Phone location data cited by police place Stitts near Dawson’s home and the storage facility that morning, then show travel out of Texas with pings in Detroit the next evening.
- Prosecutors requested a $1 million bond and noted prior drug and assault convictions as Stitts remains not in custody, with investigators also documenting a recent F-250 purchase in Beaumont and a same-day stop of a vehicle registered to him.
