Caroline E. Nosal, 24, was murdered in the Metro Market parking lot on February 2, 2016, in Madison, Wisconsin. She had been working as an assistant produce manager and was ambushed after her shift around 8 p.m. The attacker, identified as former co-worker Christopher O’Kroley, 26, shot her multiple times — once in the chest and once in the head. Nosal was taken to a hospital but died of her injuries.

The shooting followed months of unwanted attention and workplace harassment. Nosal had reported O’Kroley to managers after he developed an obsession and he was suspended; he was fired by phone on February 1. After his termination he purchased a 9mm pistol and, using texts to other co-workers to learn her schedule, returned to the parking lot the next evening and lay in wait. After the shooting he sent a text claiming he had killed Caroline and would kill himself. He was later arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide and related counts.

Does anyone have additional information about Nosal’s life or her work at the Metro Market that could shed light on the timeline leading up to that night?
