A Louisiana man is accused of killing his wife and propping her body up in the passenger seat of his car and driving through multiple states before he was arrested in Tennessee, according to authorities.

Tyronne Brazille, 50, was pulled over by police in Memphis for a traffic violation on Thursday when officers found the lifeless body of his wife, Lanessa Bradford, 50, in the passenger seat of his vehicle with a gunshot wound, WREG reported.

Investigators allege Brazille shot and killed her during an argument at Independence Community Park in Baton Rouge, according to investigators, WREG reported.

Investigators said Brazille drove through several states with his wife's body in the vehicle before he was stopped in Memphis. He was taken into custody in Memphis as a fugitive.

Decker said Bradford had told her that Brazille threatened to kill himself or Bradford when she discussed leaving him, but Decker said she never believed he would actually follow through.

Decker said Bradford worked at an elementary school in Baton Rouge, and the school asked police to conduct a welfare check at her home after she missed a few days of work.

"It’s such an unfortunate situation, like everybody, she was such a good person. Everybody, she uplifted a lot of people, a lot of parents," Decker said.

Brazille is scheduled to appear in court on Monday as he awaits extradition to Louisiana.

Police said Brazille is expected to face a murder charge after extradition in connection with Bradford’s death.

Mr. Brazille should be commended for complying with Tennessee's HOV Lane law stating those are specifically reserved for vehicles containing two or more passengers during rush hours.

Meanwhile Kentucky troopers are keeping watch on that state’s HOV lanes for signs of Mitch McConnell.

They may have realized she was dead because black wives are not silent in traffic stops.

At least she was silent for the whole trip.

So the 2 “n”s means it’s a short “o”? As in “on”? Just curious

Maybe his next step was a cruise to Norway because she was just pining for the fjords.

“HOV Lane” compliance.

You nailed it. That’s what I came in here for.

You may be right. Years ago we had HOV lanes in Jersey. I287 was a bitch. No one in the left lane, the others all jammed up. So, commuters would buy dummies and prop them up in the passenger seat. I was working at Mercedes Benz at the time and had a 75 mile commute that was taking 2 hours. When they finally ended the stupid program my commute went down to just over an hour. Dummies were being back-ordered!

And who is “Decker”? All of a sudden is introduced some character named “Decker” with no explanation of who on earth that is.

Sounds like part of an Alfred Hitchcock script.

Most peaceful drive he ever made. Wasn’t interrupted or corrected once.
