On the evening of October 18, 2015, 24-year-old Sarah Wierstad was shot and killed just steps from her East Side apartment in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Returning from one of two jobs and attending culinary school, she walked into a burglary in progress and encountered at least three men ransacking her home. The intruders forced her to the ground at gunpoint, stole her purse, and fled; Sarah followed them outside, concerned for her five-year-old daughter and asking for her phone back.

According to reports, one of the suspects yelled at her to stop following them, then multiple gunshots rang out. Sarah was struck twice — once in the foot and once in the arm, the latter bullet continuing into her heart. Neighbors applied first aid but she was pronounced dead at a hospital. The shooting was the opening act of a three-hour crime spree that included other robberies and another homicide that night. Four people were later arrested in connection with the series of crimes; charges reported included murder, aggravated robbery, burglary, and aiding an offender. No one has been publicly identified in these accounts as the person who fired the fatal shot.

Does anyone have information about Sarah, her routines, or sightings in the East Side neighborhood around October 18, 2015?
