Amy L. Burger, 24, was fatally shot in her Saugerties, New York apartment on May 31, 2016. Police responded to an abandoned 911 call and found her body on the floor at 26 Randle Court; she had sustained a fatal gunshot wound. The residence belonged to her 41-year-old estranged boyfriend, Karon Bowden.

Bowden was at the scene and taken into custody. Investigators tied the killing to a domestic dispute after Amy decided to end the relationship; she had previously experienced domestic violence in the relationship. Bowden was charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon, arraigned in Town of Saugerties Court and remanded without bail. He later pleaded guilty, admitting he intended to kill Amy, and was sentenced to 24 years to life in state prison.

Amy’s loved ones remembered her as kind and loving. If anyone knew Amy, her movements that night, or has information about the relationship, please come forward.
