On February 16, 2024, 19-year-old Danielle Marie Lovins was found with a gunshot wound to the head at her boyfriend’s residence on Peregrine Way in Hamilton, Ohio. She was taken to Kettering Medical Center in Dayton and pronounced dead at 5:18 p.m. A male present at the scene placed the initial 911 call, and Danielle’s five-month-old son was also in the residence when the incident occurred. The Hamilton Police Department opened an investigation.

The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office performed an autopsy but listed the manner of death as undetermined. Danielle was born August 11, 2004, and is survived by her father, Daniel W. Lovins, and her son; she was preceded in death by her mother, Emily M. Phelps. Danielle’s family has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the investigation and said they want further inquiry into what happened.

Does anyone have information about Danielle, the events on Peregrine Way that day, or contacts who might help her family pursue answers?
