Kirstie Lally, 28, of Springfield, Ohio, was found with a gunshot wound to the head around 7:30 a.m. on March 22, 2020, on the sidewalk near 1429 S. Fountain Ave. Her death was the first homicide in Clark County that year. A passerby discovered her unresponsive and called authorities.

Springfield Police Division opened an investigation and followed several leads, and investigators said the circumstances suggested a possible connection to a robbery that had occurred in the area hours earlier, although police did not confirm a direct link. No suspects were identified in the initial reports and the case remained open.

Kirstie was remembered as a loving mother to two young sons, a member of Immaculate Conception in Dayton, and close to her parents and grandparents. Anyone with information about her death is asked to contact Springfield police.
