HORROR: Young PBS Employee Shot and Killed by Estranged Husband Outside Her Home

A promising young woman who also served our country in uniform has died days after she was shot in an unspeakable act of violence.

As KWCH reported, the Wichita Police Department confirmed that 25-year-old Ivy Unruh of PBS Kansas passed away after being allegedly shot by her husband, 29-year-old Joshua Orlando.

The shooting occurred on Friday morning around 8 a.m. at an apartment complex off of 37th Street North between Woodlawn and Rock Road in Wichita, Kansas. Unruh was rushed to the hospital and died on Monday from her injuries.

Unruh was an engineer at PBS Kansas at the time of her death. She was also a military veteran who served in the Marines.

Victor Hogstrom, president of PBS Kansas, was shocked upon hearing the news of such a promising young person who died far too soon and mourned her passing:

“I heard about it, and I was first informed, and the first thing I did was slam the desk with my two hands — bang, what? That was my reaction. I couldn’t believe it,” Hogstrom said.

“She worked with people well. She was smart and very intelligent. She was a good employee. We’re all missing her from here, a very dependable person,” he added.

Orlando was arrested Friday and booked at the Sedgwick County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery. The charge has now been upgraded to first-degree murder following Unruh’s death.

He is being held on a $300,000 bond.

A family friend has launched a GoFundMe for Unruh’s family to help cover funeral costs and released this statement on the website:

“We are heartbroken to share the devastating loss of a strong, courageous woman, a United States Marine, who was taken from us due to domestic violence,” the fundraiser states.

“She served her country with honor, strength, and selflessness. To those who knew her, she was more than a Marine—she was a daughter, a sister, and a friend who brought light into the lives of others,” The fundraiser continues. “She had the courage to walk away from a dangerous situation, yet tragically, her life was still taken.”

“Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward honoring her life and giving her the service she deserves. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.”

Just over $10,000 have been raised as of this writing. Anyone wishing to donate can click HERE.
