On the early morning of October 3, 2009, in Phoenix, Arizona, 39-year-old Kelly Ann Jaeger was shot while walking with her boyfriend, Jeffery Wellmaker, near Palma Park. The couple encountered Travis Ricci, who began verbally harassing them with racial slurs directed at Wellmaker. Ricci left, then returned with another man, Aaron Schmidt; Schmidt drove while Ricci sat in the passenger seat armed with a 12-gauge shotgun.

As their car approached the couple near a payphone at 415 East Puget Avenue, it circled back and Ricci fired from the passenger seat intending to hit Wellmaker. The blast struck Jaeger in the stomach. Wellmaker called 911 and held Jaeger until she was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead two days before her 40th birthday.

Phoenix police identified Ricci and Schmidt as suspects. Ricci was arrested on July 19, 2010, and Schmidt was located and arrested in Tennessee on September 1, 2010. Both were charged with first-degree murder and attempted homicide and the prosecution treated the case as a hate crime; Schmidt later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and Ricci was convicted of murder, attempted murder, and related counts and sentenced to life in prison.

Did anyone who knew Kelly or was in that neighborhood on October 3, 2009, notice the sedan that circled back near the payphone?
