Keara Crowder, 29, was shot multiple times in the early morning hours of November 19, 2014, in her home in the Hickory Hill area of southeast Shelby County, Memphis, Tennessee. The shooting occurred during a domestic dispute with her wife, Jaselyn Grant, who was an off-duty Memphis police officer. Crowder’s 12-year-old son witnessed the attack, fled to get help, and testified that Grant fired a shot in his direction. Crowder was taken to a nearby hospital and died approximately five hours later.

Officers found Grant at the scene, uninjured, with her service weapon, which was determined to be the gun used in the shooting. Grant initially claimed self-defense; prosecutors presented evidence of prior abusive conduct including harassing calls and physical violence. In February 2017 a jury rejected the self-defense claim and convicted Jaselyn Grant of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment, and aggravated assault for firing at Crowder’s son. The former officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder.

Anyone who knew Keara, her household, or the couple’s movements in November 2014 is asked to share what they remember.
