Torhonda Cathey, 33, was shot and killed after leaving a Target on Colonial Road in Memphis during a lunch break in September 2014.

The shooter was identified as her ex-boyfriend, Ronald Ellis, a 51-year-old Memphis firefighter. Reports describe a troubled relationship and say Ellis had a history of domestic violence and stalking directed at Cathey, including following her and trying to run her off the road. He was previously arrested and given a 10-day suspension from the fire department for those actions. After the killing, a manhunt followed, Ellis fled in a rented white Ford Focus, a first-degree murder warrant was issued, and he was later arrested in Georgia and returned to Shelby County on the murder charge.

At trial prosecutors said the killing was deliberate and premeditated and presented evidence that Ellis rented a car and sought out Cathey that day. Ellis testified and admitted to killing her; his lawyer argued for manslaughter. The jury convicted Ronald Ellis of first-degree murder and he received a life sentence.

Does anyone have information about Cathey’s life or the stalking incidents that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
