TUPELO • A Belmont woman is being held in the Lee County Jail on a $5 million bond, accused of stalking, kidnapping and killing a Baldwyn woman Tuesday.
The Baldwyn Police Department formally charged Shawnie Vel Young, 47, of 1 Witt Road, Belmont, with capital murder on Thursday. More details surrounding the death of Pamela Jean Britt, 63, came out during Young’s initial court appearance before Lee County Justice Court Judge Chuck Hopkins.
Baldwyn police investigator Shane Young, no relation, said the suspect left a residence in Corinth Tuesday morning, Feb. 11, in a borrowed car and drove to Baldwyn with the intent of killing Britt.
“She parked the car at the Fish Lake Store at the intersection of highways 366 and 370 and walked (more than a mile) to the house of Pam Britt,” investigator Young said. “She seized the victim in her garage and killed her. She was seen exiting the garage by Britt’s employer. She then tried to work her way back to Fish Lake Road where the car was.”
The investigator told the judge that when Young was captured, she had bus tickets to Indiana dated Feb. 12 in her possession. He said the suspect also had a stolen driver’s license, where the picture was similar enough that she could travel on the other woman’s identity.(snip)
The chief said it appears Young had been planning the crime for a month or more. The victim complained to police in January that Young had placed a tracking device on her car in Nettleton.

Name him, ping him.
How 'bout it Laz?
Definitely not circus music in HER head.
Tell ‘em Large Marge sent ya’
Who is surprised that the accused has a rap sheet for dealing methamphetamine?
Bueller?
Throw that woman from the train.
Chicken. Egg.
The other inmates have to be praying she is not convicted.
She should not be allowed to roam society, lest children gaze on her grotesque being for even a moment and scar their retina, mind and soul.
The Brits would call her a Slag.
Yep! Probably, she'll be a big boss in prison with more life-or-death power than the warden...
She’ll be running that prison inside a week.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A MAN !!!!! A MEAN ONE TOO !!!!
H, Repeal The 17th-!
She stole another woman’s driver’s license. It was that woman who she closely resembled, not the victim she killed.
She’s smiling too much in that mug shot to look like Rosie.
Love it! lol.
Whoah, she gives Kathy Bates in “Misery” a run for her money.
