Chelsea Jewel Heimann, 31, was shot and killed in Arlington, Texas, on the morning of November 2, 2021. Born October 6, 1990, in Romania and adopted at three months by Susan L. Heimann, she was remembered by family as a devoted daughter, sibling, aunt and friend who loved soccer and travel.

Authorities say a verbal argument between Chelsea and 74-year-old relative George Dale Heimann escalated that morning and he shot her. He was taken into custody at the scene without incident and was charged with one count of murder. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner later confirmed Chelsea’s identity; the precise motive for the argument was not disclosed and the investigation was ongoing.

A celebration of life was held November 13, 2021, at Wade Family Funeral Home in Arlington. If anyone has information about Chelsea or the events that morning, please come forward.
