flag A mother was killed in a 2021 domestic violence attack despite prior warnings and police misclassification of her threat level.

flag Kelly Wilkinson, a 27-year-old mother of three, was killed on April 20, 2021, in a domestic violence attack by her estranged husband, Brian Earl Johnston, who entered her home masked, armed, and set her on fire. flag Despite prior high-risk complaints, including a protection order breach, and being flagged as a "high-risk aggrieved" person, police classified her final complaint as "lower priority" due to lack of awareness of her status. flag Officers faced criticism for using the term "cop shopping" to describe her repeated pleas, prompting a disciplinary interview but no formal action. flag Johnston, a former U.S. marine, was arrested, pleaded guilty to murder, and sentenced to life in prison in March 2024. flag A coroner’s inquest is ongoing, examining whether police procedures were followed and if systemic failures contributed to the tragedy.
