Alessandra De Moraes-Emiliano, 37, was shot dead at her workplace, a gift shop in Schererville, Indiana, on the afternoon of Saturday, January 2, 2016. She sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities identified a suspect as 49-year-old Richard Kalecki Jr., De Moraes-Emiliano’s ex-husband. Surveillance footage from the business reportedly captured the shooting. Kalecki fled in a red Toyota Corolla and a nationwide alert was issued; an extensive search by detectives from multiple northwest Indiana departments continued through the night.

The manhunt ended the next day when Kalecki was found dead in a cemetery in neighboring Calumet. Investigators began working under the presumption that he had taken his own life. At the time of the shooting, Kalecki was due to appear in court on charges of sexual misconduct with a minor.

Does anyone have additional information about Alessandra, her time at the shop, or the events on January 2 that could help shed light on what happened?
