An Indiana man has admitted to shooting his ex-girlfriend and killing her while she filmed a TikTok video with a friend Saturday morning.
Officers responded to 25-year-old Kaitlynn Lee’s New Albany apartment to find her and her friend with gunshot wounds.
The mother of three was shot to the head, police said. She died from her injuries at the scene.
Her friend told cops they were filming the TikTok video in the kitchen when 25-year-old Joshua Thompson showed up, standing outside the window.
Thompson admitted to shooting Lee and reportedly called his brother crying after the murder.
Lee’s friend said she and Thompson were “always at odds”. Her aunt described how she moved three times in the last four months fearing for her safety.
“In April of this year, she called me and he had beat her really badly.” Pamela Greenwell said.
“And I went and picked her up, and she was blue and black, like all over.”
“He was arrested and brought down here to county jail. They issued an EPO to protect Kaitlynn and it didn’t protect her. It didn’t protect her.”
