Lindsey Kathleen Crain, 28, was killed on January 29, 2015, in New Orleans while intervening to protect her mother from an armed confrontation. Her mother had been trying to leave her husband, Abbie Head, after years of alleged abuse and threats. An argument began at the home on the 1500 block of General Collins Avenue in Algiers. Crain arrived to help and, as she was escorting her mother from the house, Head followed with a shotgun, stepped between them in the driveway and fired twice; Lindsey Crain was pronounced dead at the scene.

Abbie Head fled but was later located and taken into custody. Crain was survived by her young daughter. Readers who knew Lindsey or have information about the case are urged to share what they know.
