The tragic story of Savannah Rose Kulla-Davies, a 29-year-old mother, has left her family heartbroken. She was shot and killed on a Tuesday afternoon in a parking lot in Brampton, Ontario. Her father, Ian Davies, expressed his anguish, stating he had no idea that day would be the last time he would see her.
Details Surrounding the Incident
The shooting occurred while Savannah was meeting her ex-partner, Anthony Deschepper, 38. The meeting was intended to allow him to spend time with their 17-month-old daughter. Tragically, this visit resulted in her death, followed by Deschepper abducting their child, which triggered an Amber Alert.
After the abduction, law enforcement located Deschepper, who was subsequently shot and killed by police at a gas station in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This marked a devastating conclusion to an already tragic series of events.
Remembering Savannah Kulla-Davies
Savannah was deeply devoted to her children, having four in total: three from a previous relationship and the youngest, who was at the center of the Amber Alert. Her family described her as someone passionate about motherhood and dancing, who thrived in her role as a caregiver.
- Children: Four in total
- Age: 29 years old
- Final Day: Shot on a Tuesday during a planned visit
- Ex-partner: Anthony Deschepper, aged 38
Family’s Future Plans
In the aftermath of this violent incident, her family intends to petition for official guardianship of her youngest child. They aim to provide a loving environment and assure her that her mother was a caring person.
Underlining a Broken System
Anthony Deschepper was reportedly out on bail for previous firearm charges at the time of Savannah’s death. Ian Davies criticized the justice system for allowing Deschepper’s release, questioning how it failed to protect his daughter. He noted that Savannah had previously been a complainant in a gun-related incident involving Deschepper earlier in 2023.
Calls for Reform
In light of these events, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown has advocated for stricter bail reforms to protect the community. On the same day, federal officials introduced new legislation aiming to modify the Criminal Code.
As Savannah’s family mourns her tragic passing, they reflect on her love for her children and the impact she made on their lives. Her brother, Spencer Porter, poignantly remarked, “She didn’t deserve any of this.” The community continues to rally in support of her family during this difficult time.
