Heather Strube, a 25-year-old single mother, worked as a wedding coordinator. She married Steven Strube in 2004 and got blessed with a son Carson. However, the couple divorced in 2008 and fought over Carson’s custody up until Heather got killed. 

On April 26, 2009, Heather took her son Carson to see his father and then drove down to the neighborhood Target parking lot to fetch him up. For the two, this was their go-to location.

While Carson was restrained in the backseat of her automobile at around 6 o’clock, Heather Strube was shot in the forehead with a.38 caliber revolver. According to eyewitnesses and 911 calls, the murderer was a short, skinny white male dressed in khaki slacks and a button-up shirt.

He had a mustache and black hair in addition to this. A composite sketch of the murderer was made based on the witness testimony. It was concluded that the murder was committed for personal reasons rather than robbery because Heather’s wallet was still in her car.
