A young Garden Hills woman was murdered in her sleep by a killer who shot her and her boyfriend in their bed, bringing the country’s homicide toll to 68.
Chrysteria Brown, 20, is believed to have been “collateral damage” as the intended victim of the shooting was her boyfriend, Dario Rolle, 21, who survived but is in hospital with multiple gun shot wounds to his jaw and arm.
Police believe the killer cut through a fence in the yard and climbed on to the adjoining roof before firing on the couple from outside.
Police have appealed to the public for any information that could help lead to the capture of the person or persons responsible for the killing, which took place sometime after 4:00am on Friday.
Police press liaison officer Sergeant Chrislyn Skippings said a motive for the shooting had yet to be determined.
