Melissa McCart was 27 when she was shot in her Affton, Missouri, home on the morning of Sunday, April 12, 2015. She worked as a server at the River City Casino, loved horses, and had recently obtained a restraining order against a former boyfriend after a brief relationship that family members said became possessive and controlling.

Police say the intruder, identified as 27-year-old Isaac J. Jimenez, forced his way into McCart’s residence on the 9200 block of Mackinaw Avenue while she slept and shot her in the head. Her roommate found her in critical condition; she was taken to St. Anthony’s Medical Center, remained on life support for several days, and died on the evening of Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Family members arranged for organ donation.

A multi-state manhunt followed. Authorities searched locations in Missouri and Illinois, at one point surrounding a home in Worden, Illinois. After a tip led officers to Alton, Illinois, police confronted Jimenez in a backyard; he reportedly displayed a handgun and officers fired, fatally striking him at the scene.

Does anyone have additional information about Melissa’s last days or the restraining order timeline?
