Kelsey Angelita Roberts-Gariety was 23 and had moved from Bellefontaine, Ohio, to Denver, Colorado, where she lived with her husband, Jack Gariety. Her family remembered her as deeply caring, devoted to animals and dreaming of opening a cat café. She and Jack cared for three cats—Brick, Izzie and Deandra—and a puppy called Asher, also known as Little Buddy.

On June 29, 2024, police responded to a report of a shot fired at the apartment near East Kentucky Avenue and South Dexter Street and found Kelsey deceased from a gunshot wound. Investigation attention turned to Earnest Cunningham after Kelsey’s husband said Cunningham, a former coworker who had been fired for not showing up, had been making threatening phone calls. A witness recorded a man fleeing in a car; the vehicle’s license plate was traced to Cunningham, and he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
