A wedding celebration ended in tragedy in the late hours of Thursday, April 24, 2014, when 21-year-old Katelyn Kaytee Francis of Fairmont, West Virginia, was shot in a parking lot outside Jimmy K’s Bar in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. The shooting happened hours after the wedding of her aunt, 30-year-old Christina Nicole George-Harvan, and involved George-Harvan’s new husband, Jeremy Harvan. Katelyn was struck in the abdomen, flown to UPMC Presbyterian, and died in the early morning of April 25, 2014.

Christina George-Harvan was arrested at the scene and charged in connection with her niece’s death. At trial the defense said the gun discharged accidentally as George-Harvan tried to move it and argued she did not know it was loaded, describing Jeremy Harvan as belligerent and highly intoxicated. In March 2015 a jury convicted George-Harvan of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment; in June 2015 she was sentenced to 16 to 32 months in a county facility and ordered to pay $10,000 restitution. The victim’s family had sought the maximum five-year term for the involuntary manslaughter conviction.

Does anyone have additional information about the events that night or knew Katelyn Kaytee Francis?
