Crystal Perry Ostrum was 39 when she was shot to death on June 29, 2014, in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. Her death was caused by gunshot wounds after an ex-boyfriend, Jeremy S. Ritchie, arrived at the mobile home where Crystal was with her husband, Cody Ostrum, and her stepson. Both family members were injured in the attack.

The killing followed a pattern of prior domestic violence. In November 2013 Ritchie had been arrested for assaulting Crystal and a judge issued a protection order requiring him to stay away. On the June morning he violated that order and fired multiple rounds into the mobile home. Ritchie was identified, taken into custody by the Soddy-Daisy Police and charged with criminal homicide; the charges were sent to a grand jury.
