KayLee was shot and killed by two men. They chased after her for six miles, believing she was ‘stalking them’.

One of the suspects fired 12 times into her car.

She was hit at least once by a .223 caliber bullet and crashed her red pickup truck into a fence. She was dead on arrival at hospital.

“KayLee was a quick-witted spitfire with a sense of humor that could fill an entire room with laughter. She had a determined and adventurous soul. If she got her mind set on something, she was sure to achieve it.”
