Breanne Breezy Pennington, 30, was fatally shot in her Cherry Street home in Gardner, Massachusetts, on the morning of October 22, 2023. Friends and family remembered her as a devoted mother of four who enjoyed raising exotic chickens and spending time with her children. Investigators treated the death as a homicide.

Suspicion quickly focused on her husband, 33-year-old Aaron Pennington, a U.S. Air Force veteran. Breanne had reportedly been planning to leave and move with the children to Texas and had contacted police for help days before the killing, then stayed at home over the weekend to consider her options. After Breanne’s body was found, Aaron disappeared; his white BMW was located the next day abandoned near Camp Collier and an arrest warrant for murder was issued. He has been described as a white male, blond hair, blue eyes, 6 feet 2 inches, about 175 pounds, and was being sought as armed and dangerous.

Breanne’s family has made public pleas for justice and raised awareness about domestic violence, while the community has held vigils in her memory. If anyone knew Breanne, her movements that weekend, or has information on Aaron’s whereabouts, please come forward.
