Heather Chapman, 33, was killed at her North Linden home in Columbus, Ohio on February 22, 2022. A phlebotomist at CSL Plasma for nearly 15 years and a member of Fraternal Order of the Eagles 2252, she is survived by her daughter Nova Marie and her brother Shaun Morrow. Initial claims by her ex-boyfriend, Dallas Lowery, that Heather had taken her own life were overturned by investigators who determined Lowery shot her in the head and then left the couple’s 2-month-old daughter alone in the home for over an hour before calling 911 and falsely reporting a suicide.

The murder weapon was later recovered in the car of Lowery’s friend Terry Parrish; Parrish pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and testified that Lowery had threatened to shoot Heather the day before the killing. In March 2024 a Franklin County Common Pleas Court jury convicted Lowery of murder, domestic violence, and tampering with evidence; he was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 18 years. Heather’s family remembered her as generous and positive and said she did not deserve to die.

Did anyone in the Columbus area have information about Heather’s life or the relationship that could help others understand what happened?
