Kristen Whitted, a  St. Louis, Missouri woman, died alone in her car when she has struck by a stray bullet fired in a shootout between two cars on Interstate I-170.  An innocent bystander, she “had no connection to the other vehicles and was caught in the crossfire.”

Kristen’s family released the following statement:

“Kristen always strived for more knowledge, wanting to know more about everything. Never settling on just the surface of a situation. She always got the most out of everything. It showed in her job and her cooking. She never stopped and never settled. Always moving and taking others along with her, it made it easy to open up to her. She was always available and gave an ear to all.”

The people involved in the shooting were gone before police arrived.
