Amanda Kathryn Cloaninger-Colley, 36, was shot and killed at her home in the MuraBella community in Saint Augustine, Florida, on August 27, 2015. She had been at the house that morning with friends Lindy Dobbins and Rachel Hendricks and her boyfriend, Lamar Douberly, after her estranged husband, James Terry Colley Jr., allegedly ransacked the home the night before while under a domestic violence injunction.

According to reports, James Colley returned armed, began shooting from outside the house and killed Amanda and her friend Lindy Dobbins. Amanda was found hiding in a bathroom; Lindy was found behind a chest in a closet. Rachel Hendricks and Lamar Douberly escaped despite being targeted.

James Colley was arrested and charged with multiple offenses including first-degree premeditated murder, attempted murder, burglary, and aggravated stalking; in July 2018 he was found guilty on all counts and in November 2018 was sentenced to death. What details about the hours before the shooting might help explain how Colley gained access to the house or approached the victims?
