Sheri Thielen murder 1999

I can’t find any articles written on Sheri. All I can find is the flier about her murder which isn’t much! If you happen to have an article or know of an article about Sheri, please leave it in the comments. It would be nice to give closure to Sheri’s daughter Leila.

Thanks, Colleen

Sheri Thielen, a 40-year old single mom, was at home with her 9-year old daughter the evening of February 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. The men walked 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.
