Jenny Dawn Ward, 36, was shot to death in her Eau Claire, Wisconsin, home on July 30, 2016. Neighbors and police reports say the shooter, 38-year-old Shane Helmbrecht, broke into her residence in the early morning hours. Ward’s children were at home and told officers that Helmbrecht called their mother a demon before firing multiple times with a rifle.

Officers stopped Helmbrecht as he tried to flee in his truck and recovered a rifle from the vehicle. He told investigators he had been hearing voices and that he believed he was casting demons to hell; he also admitted using methamphetamine the day before. Helmbrecht was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and held with bail set at $1 million.

There is extensive litigation over Helmbrecht’s mental state and fitness to stand trial, including a finding of incompetence and commitment to a mental health facility. What can anyone who knew Jenny or was in that neighborhood on July 30, 2016, add to the record?
