Savannah Rose Kulla-Davies met a tragic end when she went to see her ex-partner, unknowingly for the last time, according to her father. The 29-year-old was fatally shot in a Brampton plaza, allegedly by her ex-partner Anthony Deschepper, who then abducted their 17-month-old daughter, triggering an Amber Alert. Deschepper was later shot by police in Niagara Falls.
On the day of the incident, Kulla-Davies, a former social worker for Peel Region, appeared to have a regular day. She stopped by Starbucks before heading to the plaza to meet Deschepper, with whom she intended to facilitate their daughter spending time together.
Deschepper, who was out on bail at the time of the shooting, had a history of firearm charges related to a previous incident involving Kulla-Davies. The delay in addressing the case raised concerns, with records indicating his reckless use of a firearm towards her.
Her family described Kulla-Davies as a devoted mother of four children, prioritizing motherhood after a career in dance and social work. She had a loving and caring nature, always supportive of her family, despite the challenges of raising four children.
The tragic events have sparked calls for stricter bail reforms, with Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown advocating for changes to prevent similar incidents. The investigation into Deschepper’s death is ongoing, shedding light on the need for improved measures to protect individuals from potential harm.
Kulla-Davies’s family plans to seek guardianship of her youngest child and ensure that her legacy as a kind and compassionate person is passed on to her children.
The loss of Kulla-Davies has deeply impacted her family, who expressed their love for her and their desire for justice in the wake of the senseless tragedy.
