Kameryn Recchia, 25, was found dead in her Brewster Lane home in Morning View, Kentucky, on October 20, 2021. A welfare check by the Kenton County Police Department located her body with an apparent gunshot wound; investigators concluded she had been shot twice in the head with a .22 caliber weapon.

The investigation led to 26-year-old Dillon Brewster. He was stopped and arrested in Miami County, Ohio, after being found driving Recchia’s vehicle with her young child inside; initial charges there included operating a vehicle under the influence, failure to comply with police, and child endangerment. Authorities later charged him with murder and domestic violence in connection with Recchia’s death.

Ballistics linked shell casings from the scene to a .22 caliber rifle recovered in the back of Brewster’s car after a high-speed chase that ended near Troy. Trial testimony included a final text from Recchia saying she intended to leave Brewster; the defense argued Recchia had attempted to rob him that night, but the jury convicted Brewster of murder, kidnapping and related offenses and imposed a life sentence with parole eligibility after 20 years.
