On the afternoon of October 8, 2016, 31-year-old Sherri Blount was found fatally shot inside her South Street apartment in Danbury, Connecticut. Police responded after hearing gunfire at about 1:30 p.m.; officers pronounced her dead at the scene. A man was reported to have been in the apartment at the time; authorities have not publicly identified him or named him as a suspect.

Blount was a mother of four young children who were in the home when she was killed but were not physically harmed. She worked as a teacher’s aide for Danbury Public Schools and was remembered by colleagues for her dedication to the children she served. The investigation remained open and active, and as of late 2025 no arrests had been announced; police said they did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public.

If anyone knew Sherri, was in that neighborhood that afternoon, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
