Angela Esther Stephenson, 36, was shot and killed inside her apartment on Southeast 15th Avenue in Albany, Oregon, in the early morning hours of May 13, 2014. Her 8-year-old son woke to a noise, found her bleeding on the kitchen floor, and called 911.

Investigators linked her killing to an escalating series of violent crimes in the area that spring: a woman raped in her second-story apartment after an intruder entered via a balcony door, an armed robbery at a convenience store, and multiple residential burglaries often involving entry through unlocked doors and windows. Police initially did not know whether Stephenson had been targeted or was the victim of a random home invasion; detectives later said there was no known connection between her and the accused.

An 18-year-old, Lucius Gentry Wilson III, was arrested June 2, 2014, while fleeing police on trespassing charges and was subsequently charged in connection with the burglary, sexual assault, robbery and Stephenson’s murder. He pleaded guilty and received a life sentence.

Did anyone who knew Angela or lived on Southeast 15th Avenue in 2014 notice anything unusual in the weeks before May 13?
