Kelvin C. Courtright, 42, murdered Erin A. Young, 28, outside her workplace near Allentown's Queen City Airport. If was just before 8 a.m. when she arrived at SHI-APD Cryogenics. As she pulled into the parking space, she allegedly saw Courtright approach her with a gun. She called her friend and told her to call the police. When they arrived, she was found dead in her car.
The tragedy is even greater since it was only 8 days ago when officers responded to a disturbance call at her home. She stated that she was going to sell his two 9 mm handguns and wanted him out of her home as he was not paying his share of the bills. He had moved in 6 months earlier. The officers took the guns that night but had to release them back to him the next day when he provided proof of ownership. It is unknown if he used these weapons to kill her. Courtright had a criminal history including 3 previous protection order from other women. He was fired from his position as a corrections officer last year for fighting with another guard. He was also sued for harassing former female inmates.

Well, he's going to jail for life now. The jurors saw to that today. I was one of them. Too bad Erin is gone, and her daughter doesn't have a mom.
