Sarah Crawford was 30 when she was shot dead inside the home she shared with her husband in Donegal Township on the night of Sunday, December 4, 2016. Reports identify her as Sarah F. Cromer Crawford, a Chicora resident. Police and news accounts say the night began with a domestic argument between Sarah and her husband, Joshua Crawford, then 30.

According to the criminal complaint as reported in the press, Joshua retrieved a hunting rifle, made two attempts to shoot himself using the rifle, and after those attempts failed he allegedly lowered the weapon, pointed it at Sarah on a couch, and fired. State police said the bullet struck Sarah in the chest and she was found dead from a single gunshot wound. Joshua was arrested the following morning, charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault, denied bond, and the case was held for trial after a December preliminary hearing.

If anyone knew Sarah or has information about that night, please share what you know.
