Erica's murder has left her 5yr old Son to grow up without his Mother in his life

Erica was shot to death by her former boyfriend, Kyle E. Hicke, 37. He pled guilty to first-degree intentional homicide (related charges were read in) and was sentenced to life in prison, with eligibility for extended supervision in 2052.

Kyle Hicke shot Erica Ostensen repeatedly while she was in front of her home and in the presence of her five-year-old son.

He fled the scene of the homicide and was apprehended after a high-speed chase.

Between 1995 and 2010 he was arrested and convicted of domestic-abuse-related charges on five occasions. Because of the convictions he was prohibited from owning a gun.
