Macy Murphy was 15 when she was found dead in a parked car on Inisheer Way in South Sacramento on May 29, 2016. Neighbors called 911 after noticing an unresponsive female in the vehicle; responders found Macy had been shot in the upper body with a 9mm pistol and she was pronounced dead at the scene. The car had reportedly been parked on the street since late Saturday.

The investigation led to the arrest of 17-year-old Christopher Simpson, who was charged with first-degree murder and arraigned in Sacramento Superior Court. The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office decided to try Simpson as an adult; he was held in custody without bail. Reports indicated Simpson and Macy were in the same social circle and that motive may have involved perceived disrespect. The gun was never recovered.

Macy’s family and friends remembered her as smart, artistic, and ambitious. Does anyone have information about Macy, her social circle, or the events around late May 2016 that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
