Kimberly Dianne Richardson, 25, was shot in Raleigh, North Carolina, just after 9:30 p.m. on April 18, 2015, in the 3600 block of Sumner Boulevard near Triangle Town Center. Six months pregnant at the time, Richardson called 911 pleading for help and saying she had been shot and was losing consciousness. She was taken to WakeMed and died of her injuries early the next morning. Doctors were able to save her baby, a girl later named Lacy.

Police arrested 25-year-old Daniel Joseph Steele at his home on Snowcrest Drive shortly after the shooting. Warrants say Steele admitted shooting Richardson after they met to discuss problems in their relationship and gave the location of the weapon and ammunition, which matched crime-scene evidence. Steele was charged with first-degree murder and the attempted murder of the unborn child and later pleaded guilty to lesser charges. Lacy survived and is being raised by Richardson’s parents and requires around-the-clock care.

Richardson was described as hardworking, holding two jobs and looking forward to motherhood; her death left the community in shock. If anyone knew Kimberly, Lacy, or saw something relevant in that area on April 18, 2015, please share what is known.
