## Resource

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Nicole Lenway Ford with me today. In April 2022, Minneapolis crime scene investigator Nicole “Nicki” Lenway was ambushed and shot at close range in the parking lot of a parenting center as she arrived to pick up her young son, left bleeding beside her car but miraculously survived. Investigators later concluded the attack was the climax of a years‑long custody and harassment war with her ex, taekwondo instructor Tim Amacher, and that his new girlfriend, Colleen Larson, had lain in wait and pulled the trigger after being drawn into Amacher’s campaign to destroy Nicki. Ultimately, both Amacher and Larson were convicted in the attempted‑murder plot, and Nicki has spoken publicly about rebuilding her life while living with permanent injuries and trauma from the shooting.
