Cassie Wilson, 29, died in Salem, Oregon, on November 10, 2016, from a gunshot wound to her abdomen while inside her apartment with her partner of about eight years. Before she passed, Cassie told law enforcement the shooting was accidental and that she had been handling the firearm when it discharged.

Cassie’s family raised concerns after her death, saying she had told them her partner had been abusive. Her sister Batisse Wilson said the partner had prior domestic violence convictions that would have legally barred him from purchasing a firearm, and that Cassie was not familiar with guns but had bought one at his urging. The death was officially ruled accidental; no arrests or charges followed.

Several questions about the circumstances and the partner’s role remain unresolved. If anyone knew Cassie, her partner, or has information about what happened that night, please share what can help clarify the case.
