Katherine Elizabeth Spencer was 23 when she was shot and killed in Helena, Montana on July 1, 2017. Known as Katie to family and friends, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant. That night a 911 call was placed by her 22-year-old boyfriend, Skyler Schneider. Responding officers found Spencer inside a vehicle with a single gunshot wound to the head; she was taken to St. Peter’s Hospital but died from her injuries.

Schneider was taken into custody at the scene while still on the phone with the dispatcher. Prosecutors later brought charges related to her death, and a jury convicted Schneider of deliberate homicide and tampering with evidence. Anyone who knew Katie or has information about her last night is asked to come forward.
