Kathrina Lynn Durham was 21 when she was shot in her Tempe apartment on January 12, 2017. Originally from Parsons, Kansas, she had moved to Arizona to pursue art and graphic design and was remembered by friends and family as a sweet, caring person whose creative work drew local recognition. By early 2017 she lived with her boyfriend near Elliot and Kyrene roads.

Police found Durham inside the apartment with a gunshot wound to the chest. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died later that day; some accounts note she was pronounced dead at a hospital in neighboring Chandler. Her live-in boyfriend, 25-year-old Bryan McCarthy, told officers the shooting was accidental, saying he grabbed a gun after a knock at the door and the firearm discharged as he tried to make it safe. Investigators alleged he was responsible; McCarthy was arrested at the scene and booked on a manslaughter charge.

Did anyone in the area know Kathrina or have information about the events that night?
