Sakeena Khaadi, 23, was shot and killed inside the apartment building where she lived in Horace, North Dakota, on the morning of Wednesday, November 5, 2025. Deputies and rescue crews were dispatched just before 8 a.m. after 911 callers reported a woman down with a gunshot wound and a man outside the building with blood on his hands. Residents attempted lifesaving measures but she was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy found a single gunshot entered her chest after passing through her left forearm, a pattern consistent with her having raised her arm in front of her body when the shot was fired.

The hallway where Sakeena fell was steps from the apartment she shared with 21-year-old Derrick Lobbo and his two-year-old child. Investigators found a 9mm handgun, a magazine, and a spent casing inside the unit, along with blood droplets on the couch and floor. Lobbo’s toddler was discovered alone and unharmed but within reach of the firearm and alcohol and marijuana.

On November 10, prosecutors charged Derrick Lobbo with manslaughter, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment with a firearm, and child neglect; he remained charged but not convicted as the case moved through the courts. The community has mourned Sakeena while legal debate centers on intent versus accident. Did anyone living near Jacks Way see or hear anything that morning that could clarify what happened inside that apartment?
