Case narrative
Source text · highlightedSheri Thielen, a 40-year-old single mother, was at home with her 9-year-old daughter the evening of Feb. 9, 1999, when she heard a knock at her front door shortly before midnight. When she looked out her window, she saw two black men walking around to the back of the house. As Thielen watched from the back window, the men turned and began firing shots into the home. She was shot three times in the torso. Thielen survived the initial attack, which police believe was a case of mistaken identity, but was paralyzed from the chest down. She spent three months recuperating in a local hospital, but died as a result of complications from her injuries on May 24, 1999.
