Sky Lemmons-Dixon, 23, was found with a gunshot wound to the head in her State Street apartment in Albany, New York, on Christmas morning 2023. She was taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital and died of her injuries on January 1, 2024. In the year before her death she had been the victim of severe domestic abuse and had testified before a grand jury against her ex-boyfriend, Houston Ketter III, saying she feared for her life; a judge later found Ketter responsible for her disappearance just before his trial. Ketter was convicted and sentenced for attempted murder and assault six days before Lemmons-Dixon was shot.

The investigation into her killing resulted in multiple arrests. Patrick Dean was indicted on first-degree murder and related charges; Michael Varlack faced an initial murder charge that was later dropped but remained charged with weapons and evidence-related offenses; Ibrahim Hammond was charged with hindering prosecution, tampering with evidence and perjury. Later court filings show plea deals and prison sentences for Dean, Varlack and Hammond, and prosecutors have not publicly released a definitive motive tying the shooting to her grand jury testimony.

Did anyone in Albany know Sky or have information about her movements that could help explain who was responsible?
