Young mother of three from Indiana allegedly killed by ex-boyfriend while filming TikTok with friend: report

A young mother of three was reportedly shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend while filming a TikTok video in Indiana.

New Albany police found 25-year-old Kaitlynn Lee with a fatal gunshot wound when she responded to her apartment for a report of a gunshot wound early on the morning of August 10.

Authorities told local station WAVE that Lee was in an apartment with her friend when she was shot. Lee's friend told police they were in the kitchen filming a TikTok video when they heard a knock on the window, according to documents obtained by WAVE.

The girlfriend reportedly told police she heard Lee ask, “What are you doing here?” shortly before she was shot two or three times.

She told police that just before her friend was shot, she saw Lee's ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Joshua Thompson, standing alone outside the window pointing the gun at Lee.

The friend also told police that Thompson and Lee's relationship was toxic and that they were “constantly arguing,” WAVE reported.

Pamela Greenwell, Lee's aunt, described how her niece had moved three times in the last four months because of Thompson.

“In April of this year, she called me and he had beaten her really bad,” Greenwell told WAVE. “And I went and picked her up. And she was blue and black, like all over her body. He was arrested and taken to the county jail here. They issued an EPO to protect Kaitlynn, and it didn't protect her. It didn't protect her.”

Thompson reportedly ran from the scene and called his brother crying, WAVE reported. Thompson's brother told police he admitted to shooting Lee in the head and killing her during the phone call.

Thompson called 911 and allegedly told police that he had shot the mother of his child and was going to turn himself in.

According to WAVE, police immediately arrested Thompson and charged him with murder.

Despite a restraining order, Thompson allegedly told police he wanted to check whether Lee and other men were in the apartment.

Investigators reviewed the TikTok video, which showed Lee and the other woman laughing, dancing and singing before stopping, turning away from the camera and looking toward the back kitchen window where Thompson was, WAVE reported.

“As many of you already know, my cousin Kaitlynn Lee was shot and killed on Saturday, August 10th,” Lee's cousin Jannette Roberts wrote in a post. “She did not deserve what happened to her. These babies did NOT deserve to go through this. I will never understand how or why someone could do something so inhumane.”

“Because of someone’s selfish actions, her three beautiful babies will now have to grow up without a mother,” Roberts continued.
