Holly Richardson, 34, was shot and killed on October 23, 2014, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Officers responding to reports of gunfire on Madeira Court, near Good Samaritan Medical Center, found Holly slumped over in her blue four-door Kia with a $10 bill still clasped in her hand. She had tried to buy drugs that night but decided against the purchase, wanting more for her money; that decision led to a confrontation that turned deadly.

Investigators say Jonathan Peden supplied the gun used in the shooting and admitted he gave a weapon to a man who intended to rob the dealer Holly was dealing with. When the dealer was not there, a struggle over Holly’s purse ensued and she was fatally shot. In August 2019 a jury convicted Peden of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to life in prison.

Holly worked as a surgical technician at the Center for GI Endoscopy and was a single mother remembered as warm and easy to befriend. Her daughter and family continue to cope with the loss. If anyone knew Holly or has information relevant to the case, please share what you can.
