Cathryn Lambert, 48, of Mesopotamia, Ohio, was fatally shot on April 25, 2017. The shooting occurred after her daughter, 26-year-old Tiffany Lambert, had an argument with Douglas Scott Day, 23, at their shared apartment. When Cathryn came to pick up Tiffany, Day followed Tiffany outside armed with two handguns and fired at least 13 rounds at both women.

Cathryn was struck in the neck, managed to drive across the street, then crashed into a porch and was pronounced dead at the scene. Tiffany suffered gunshot wounds to her left shoulder and lower left side and survived. Douglas Day was arrested and charged with aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder; he pleaded not guilty and was held on $1 million bond. His trial was scheduled for July 24, 2017, and firearm specifications carried mandatory prison time if he were convicted.

The killing shocked the small rural community. If anyone knew Cathryn or Tiffany, or has information about the events of April 25, 2017, please come forward.
