Kiara Shanae Livingston, 28, was shot and killed in Aurora, Colorado in the early morning of April 14, 2018. She was in her car outside a townhouse on South Iola Street at about 4:30 a.m. after an argument with her boyfriend, Cleveland Vernon Grimes IV. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots and seeing a man matching his description near the scene.

Police say Grimes emerged from the residence with a handgun as Livingston attempted to leave, fired multiple shots into the driver’s side, and struck her five times. She was taken to the Medical Center of Aurora and pronounced dead; the Arapahoe County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators linked Grimes to the vehicle with his fingerprints and cell phone records placing him in contact with Livingston before the shooting. Shell casings from a 9mm Makarov and an empty semi-automatic magazine were recovered nearby.

Grimes was arrested about a week after the killing and charged with first-degree murder; a jury later convicted him and he received life without parole. Kiara left two young daughters. If anyone knew Kiara, her movements that night, or has information about the case, please come forward.
