Erica Ann Wilson, 38

MN, Circle Pines

July 30, 2009

Erica is survived by three adult sons, a sister, and her mother.

Erica had left her partner of 25 years, James H. Schwartzbauer, a week earlier. She had not told him where she was going and left behind her cell phone. He tracked her down less than a week later. Neighbors heard them arguing on the evening of July 29.

Early the next morning, Schwartzbauer was waiting to confront her in the parking lot of her apartment complex. Neighbors heard them arguing, one saw him grab her and throw her against a car with a gun to her head. Neighbors started shouting and called 911. He moved Erica into a breezeway. Neighbors heard gunshots.

Schwartzbauer murdered Erica and then turned the gun on himself, committing suicide.
