Amelia Lacambra was 21 when she was killed by a single gunshot in her Woodmont Drive home in the St. Regis Park area of Louisville, Kentucky, on a Sunday afternoon in April 2016. Her infant son was in the house and was unharmed. Her husband, 22-year-old Army veteran Damien Lacambra, was taken into custody at the scene and told investigators he hadn’t known the gun was loaded when he pointed it at his wife and pulled the trigger, calling it an accident.

Damien Lacambra was charged with murder; at trial he maintained the shooting was accidental while prosecutors argued it was deliberate. A jury convicted him of second-degree manslaughter, and he was sentenced to ten years in prison. Because of the conviction, he became eligible for parole earlier than the full term. Amelia’s family has protested his potential release and attended parole hearings to oppose it, saying the system failed her.

Does anyone have memories of Amelia or information that could shed more light on what happened that afternoon?
