On the evening of Sunday, May 31, 2020, 34-year-old Kira Kristie Ost died in a west-end Billings residence from a single gunshot wound. Officers who responded to a report of a shooting found Kira and a 34-year-old man, Andrew Clonce, both deceased at the scene. The Yellowstone County Coroner identified the two and attributed each death to a single gunshot wound.

Authorities classified the incident as a murder-suicide, with investigators believing Clonce shot Kira and then died from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. No other suspects were being sought as police continued to work to establish the full circumstances leading up to the deaths.

If anyone knew Kira, Andrew, or observed activity at that west-side residence around May 31, 2020, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
