Nya Hammond was 19 when she was shot and killed in a Glendale, Wisconsin parking lot in the early morning hours of September 26, 2016. A mother to a three-year-old son and an employee who began early shifts at the Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin, Hammond was found by police after a 5:30 a.m. call about a person lying on the ground. She had been shot in the middle of her back, had shallow breaths when the first officer arrived, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified her ex-boyfriend and the child’s father, 21-year-old Pierre Gardner, as the primary suspect. Hammond had ended the relationship days earlier, citing a history of domestic violence; family members said she sent her mother photos of injuries two weeks before the shooting, and the medical examiner noted scarring consistent with those injuries. Hospital parking-lot surveillance showed Gardner’s vehicle enter and leave before Hammond arrived, Hammond getting into his car, then exiting and moving toward a security guard shack; video then shows Gardner exiting the car and a flash consistent with a gunshot. A .380 casing was recovered and Gardner was charged with first-degree reckless homicide while using a dangerous weapon.

Did anyone who knew Nya around that time notice Gardner showing up at her grandmother’s or otherwise looking for her?
