Authorities Identify Shooting Victim

File

The fiance of Jennifer Gorecki, 43, is accused of killing her

Authorities have released the name of a woman shot to death last week in Evansville. WNIN’s John Gibson has the update:

The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office identifies the victim as 43-year-old Jennifer Gorecki of Evansville.

EPD Sgt. Trudy Day says officers responded to the 1600 block of S. Morton Ave. Thursday evening and found Gorecki with a gunshot wound to the chest.

She was transported to a local hospital, where she later died.

Day says officers were told Gorecki had shot herself but after further investigation police arrested the victim’s fiancé, 44-year-old Jason Horne.

Horne faces a murder charge and is being held at the Vanderburgh County jail.

An autopsy was scheduled on Friday.
