Tarisia Caron, an 18-year-old White woman from the Evergreen area near Kalispell, Montana, was killed on May 1, 2007. Authorities found her body in the yard of a home with a fatal 12-gauge shotgun wound to the head. Beside her lay her 19-year-old boyfriend, Kenton Weimer, who had shot himself in the face with the same weapon and survived with serious injuries.

Authorities described the scene as an apparent murder-suicide pact. Weimer was flown to a Seattle medical center for treatment and later pleaded guilty in November 2007 to mitigated deliberate homicide. At his January 2008 sentencing the court heard a statement from Weimer and victim impact remarks from Tarisia’s mother, Sherri. The court imposed a 40-year term with parole eligibility after 20 years and ordered more than $10,000 in restitution; that sentence was later vacated and Weimer was re-sentenced in January 2011.

If anyone knew Tarisia, Kenton, or events in Evergreen around May 1, 2007, please share information that could shed light on what led to this tragedy.
