Cassie Angel Sanders, 42, of Middletown, Ohio, died on December 17, 2016. A teacher remembered for a vibrant personality and active social life, she was born August 4, 1974, to Timothy and Mary Ann Sanders. Her death occurred at her home on Wilbraham Road during an argument with her husband, Gregory Orona Jr., who allegedly shot her that morning.

Detectives found evidence that conflicted with Orona’s initial claim the shooting was accidental. Records show Cassie had placed multiple 911 calls over the years reporting domestic incidents with Orona, but no arrest had been made before her death. Orona was charged with murder and later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter with a gun specification; in August 2017 he was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
