A Woodward County community is rallying in support of a mother arrested in connection with the shooting of her boyfriend. According to an OSBI investigation, the mother, Krista Fizer, suspected her boyfriend, Tyler Valdez, of sexually abusing her 1-year-old son.
“As a parent and having something like this happen to them, I hope they can understand, especially the jury of her peers, that she went insane,” said Kassandra Paulson, Fizer's friend and supporter.
Paulson claims Fizer isn't violent, but instead lost her mind when doctors confirmed her son's abuse. Paulson said on June 12, 2025, she received a frantic call from her close friend and former boss, Kritsa Fizer.
"She called me frantically, crying, freaking out. She told me something was wrong, she needed me to look at her son,” said Paulson. Paulson inspected Fizer's one-year-old son and gasped. “She put her hands on her head and started screaming and crying, and she said I knew it, and I told her to get in the car, and I was going to take her to the emergency room,” said Paulson.
The two friends rushed the toddler to the hospital, where doctors confirmed their fears. “Her exact words were this is not due to a medical condition this is due to a trauma. I can’t even talk about it without crying,” said Paulson.
OSBI investigators responded to the hospital. Fizer told investigators Tyler Valdez, her live-in boyfriend, had been caring for her 16-month-old son, and 13-year-old daughter---while she was at work.
