Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Bubba Bramlett said Tyler Gorrell, 36, also pled guilty to trafficking in a controlled substance.

According to Bramlett, Gorrell will serve 30 years in prison with no possibility of early release.

On January 27, 2024, Brandon police received a call from Gorrell that there had been an accident, and his wife, Carri Gorrell, was deceased at their home on Rockford Court. During the investigation, police discovered that Gorrell had been responsible for his wife’s death.

Bramlett said investigators also discovered that Gorrell was on drugs at the time of the incident, and they removed multiple drugs from the home, including a large amount of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).
