Kathy Ann ’Kat’ Stewart, 49, was killed by a stray bullet that entered a second-floor bedroom of her mother’s home on the 300 block of Franklin Street in Chester, Pennsylvania, on the night of Sunday, November 15, 2009. She was reportedly talking on the phone with her fiancé when a round tore through the wall and headboard, striking her in the head. Stewart was rushed to Crozer-Chester Medical Center and died early Tuesday morning, November 17, 2009.

Police said the shooting began as a street dispute outside the William Penn Homes that appeared unrelated to Stewart. Investigators recovered about a dozen shell casings and reviewed nearby church surveillance footage. Witnesses identified two suspects, described clothing, a burgundy Mercury Grand Marquis, and the firearms believed used. Authorities arrested Dominique Smith, 19, of Trainer, and Abdul Azzia Johnson, 17, of Chester; Johnson was charged as an adult. After charges were filed, Johnson briefly escaped custody during transport and crashed an unmarked police vehicle into a porch before being recaptured.

Stewart was a mother of three and grandmother of four who had been caring for her mother, Marietta Andrews. Reports described her as an unintended victim of the gun battle that spilled through the home’s walls. Did anyone in the neighborhood know Kat Stewart or see activity near Franklin Street that night?
