On the evening of May 2, 2016, 40-year-old Wesley Fletcher was shot and killed inside her Schuylkill Township home near Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, following a domestic argument with her live-in boyfriend, 43-year-old Keith Smith. Fletcher, a mother of two, had decided to leave the home with her children earlier that day. During the confrontation in the living room she activated an audio recorder on her cellphone; the recording captured Smith swearing at her, the sound of a single 12-gauge shotgun blast that struck Fletcher in the chest, and Smith later saying words to the effect of How’s that? That’s where we just went. Smith then shot himself in the face in an apparent suicide attempt but survived and was found conscious when police arrived.

Fletcher’s children, all under 14, discovered the scene and called 911. The phone recording was used as evidence. Smith was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, third-degree murder, possessing an instrument of a crime, and endangering the welfare of children, and was held without bail. A GoFundMe was set up to support Fletcher’s two children.

Does anyone have information about Wesley’s life in the community or knew the family that could help fill gaps in this case?
