In the early morning of December 23, 2013, 14-year-old Vista Ridge High School freshman Kiana Rae ONeil was shot while trying to re-enter her family’s Colorado Springs home through a basement window. The shooter was her stepfather, 29-year-old Daniel Meade, a second lieutenant stationed at Fort Carson. Neighbors reported hearing three bangs. Kiana was taken to a local hospital and later died from gunshot wounds to the chest and stomach.

The community held vigils in La Jara and near the family’s Colorado Springs home, where mourners released purple balloons. Kiana’s mother, Monica Meade, and her father, Gary ONeil of Arizona, spoke at a gathering. The Colorado Springs Police Department investigated and the matter was presented to the 4th Judicial District Grand Jury.

Did anyone in the area see Kiana around the home that morning or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
