Holly Watkins, 57, was found shot and killed in her Cleveland home on Emery Avenue on April 17, 2018. Her death was discovered during a wellness check after she failed to show up for work. Watkins was a mother of seven who had raised her children on her own and was remembered by family and friends as devoted to helping others.

The investigation focused on her boyfriend, 62-year-old Lowell D. Harris, who was arrested four days later by the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force near Columbia Station. At trial Harris testified that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted by Watkins, but a jury convicted him of two counts of murder, felonious assault, and having weapons under disability. He was sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility after 18 years.

Does anyone who knew Holly or saw her in the days before April 17, 2018 have information that could add context to what happened?
