On June 1, 2018, 41-year-old Toni Raie Salee-Bittler was killed in her Evansville, Indiana, apartment by a single gunshot to the torso. Her husband found her and she was taken to St. Vincent Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Investigators determined the fatal bullet had not been fired from inside her home: it passed through the wall separating her unit from a neighboring apartment.

Police traced the shot to an argument in the adjacent unit and identified 32-year-old Ricardo Abreu as the person who fired the gun. Abreu was arrested and charged with murder-reckless homicide and shooting a firearm into an inhabited dwelling. In December 2018 Abreu pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and criminal recklessness; another criminal recklessness count was dismissed as part of the plea. He received concurrent prison terms of 30 months for each conviction, with 201 days of custody credited.

Toni Bittler was remembered as compassionate and fond of baking. Does anyone have information about the argument next door or the events leading up to the shooting?
