Laura loved animals, was well known in the LGBTQ+ community and had attended a friend’s birthday party the night before she was killed. Her loss came as a huge shock to those who knew her.
On Saturday night, Schuler’s family and friends lit candles in the same spot where her body was found, which was just down the street from her home. They told WLWT that she was into fashion, an animal lover, a generous soul and an outspoken voice in her community.
The Cincinnati police have yet to release specific details about a possible suspect or what may have led up to Schueler's shooting. WCPO likewise reported the absence of such disclosures, emphasizing the unresolved nature of this investigation.
