Chelsea Leila Pentz Knepp, 35, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in her Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, home in the early morning hours of December 17, 2024. The only other person in the house on the 900 block of Boal Avenue was her boyfriend, who called 911 at about 5 a.m. and told police a domestic argument escalated and that a legally owned handgun discharged during a struggle as he attempted to disarm her. Police had been called to the residence on prior occasions.

The Centre County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide. The boyfriend, who has not been publicly named by authorities, was interviewed at the scene. The Centre County District Attorney says investigators are awaiting complex ballistics testing and blood spatter analysis from the state police crime lab before a charging decision can be made.

Chelsea worked as a licensed practical nurse at The Atrium Healthcare Center at the Village at Penn State and is remembered for a flamboyant personality and a strong sense of humor. Does anyone have information about Chelsea, the events on December 17, 2024, or the residence on Boal Avenue that could help investigators?
