The beating from her boyfriend in November was so violent that Crystal Perry Ostrum threw herself from a moving vehicle rather than endure more of it. Now her alleged abuser is her alleged killer.
Jeremy Scott Richie, 39, was scheduled for a July criminal court appearance on assault charges stemming from a Nov. 23 incident in north Hamilton County in which Ostrum suffered serious injuries.
Now, he is also charged with criminal homicide in a Sunday morning shooting that killed Ostrum, 39, and injured two others at a Soddy-Daisy trailer park.

Crystal Ostrum was one of the nicest people in their community, and while it's tragic for them to lose her, the bigger loss is to her 9-year-old son who witnessed this horrific event.
Crystal’s aunt Renee Setter couldn’t imagine what’s going through his head.
"That is the last thing that that child saw of his mother was her running trying to run for her life and fall down and die,” said Setter.

Ritchie’s history dates back to the early 90s and includes charges of aggravated burglary and aggravated assault.
In November, police charged Ritchie with assaulting Ostrum (then Perry) while they were dating. The arrest report states he slammed her head into the dashboard and center console as he was driving her home. She had to jump out and run for help. The beating was so bad, police made note of bruises and missing teeth. A judge ordered him in February to have no contact with Perry. He was scheduled to be in criminal court this July to answer to those charges.
