Katharine Broome Johnson, 36, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was found dead on May 25, 2005. Her death was described as the result of a violent crime and prompted a homicide investigation by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

Investigators questioned several people connected to Katharine, and attention centered on a man who had been involved in a prior domestic dispute with her. That individual was later arrested and charged with first-degree murder; the case proceeded through a public trial with forensic evidence and witness testimony presented.

Katharine’s family and community responded by raising awareness about domestic violence in her memory. Does anyone have information about Katharine’s life, her relationships, or the events around May 25, 2005 that could help clarify what happened?
