In Loving Memory of Kianna Leé
The Bronx community is mourning an unimaginable tragedy after four lives were taken in what authorities are describing as an apparent murder-suicide inside a Lacombe Avenue apartment. Among those lost was 26-year-old Kianna Leé, a beloved daughter, partner, friend, and light to all who knew her. Her life, full of promise, joy, and compassion, was heartbreakingly cut short far too soon.
On Wednesday, police responded to the fifth-floor residence after the shooter’s ex discovered the scene—a moment that has since devastated families, friends, and neighbors. Authorities identified four deceased individuals, including Kianna; her mother and the families now face a grief that words can barely hold.
But today, we remember Kianna—not for how her life ended, but for how beautifully she lived it.
A Loving Daughter and True Friend
Kianna was known for her warm, bright spirit. She carried herself with a gentle confidence, always ready with a smile that could soften even the hardest day. To her friends, she was the one who listened without judgment, who laughed with her whole heart, and who made every moment feel meaningful. To her family, she was love in its purest form—steady, thoughtful, generous, and full of life.
Those who were close to her say Kianna had an ability to truly see people. Whether she was offering advice, sharing encouragement, or simply sitting with someone during a difficult time, she gave her presence fully. She had a way of lifting others up—a light that radiated from kindness, empathy, and understanding.
A Life Full of Promise
At 26, Kianna was building a future filled with dreams and direction. She was a young woman determined to make a positive mark on the world. Her plans, goals, and hopes reflected her deep sense of purpose and her belief that life, even in its challenges, could be shaped into something beautiful.
She loved deeply. She cared deeply. And she lived wholeheartedly.
Her relationship with her partner was described as loving and genuine—two young people supporting one another through life’s journey. Their loss together is especially tender, as they had so much more life to build, love to share, and memories to create.
A Community United in Grief
In the wake of this tragedy, neighbors, friends, and loved ones are leaning on each other for strength. Shock has turned into sorrow, and sorrow into reflection. Kianna’s name is being spoken with love—stories shared, photos held, tears shed, candles lit, hearts connected.
The Bronx community stands together not only in mourning but in honoring her legacy:
her kindness, her laughter, her soft strength, her compassion, her love.
Gone Too Soon, Loved Forever
There are no perfect words when a life so precious is taken in a way so sudden and tragic. But what remains—what will always remain—is love. The love Kianna gave. The love she inspired. The love that will continue to echo in every heart she touched.
Though her time here was far too short, Kianna left an impact that cannot be erased. Her story will be carried in the memories of those who knew her, in the lives she touched, and in the love she poured into the world.
May we remember her laughter. May we remember her kindness. May we remember her light. Rest in peace, beautiful Kianna Leé. Forever cherished. Forever remembered. Forever loved. 💛🕊️
