Kiah has a podcast called https://www.truecrimeandauthors.com/ep20-unraveling-the-mystery-the-tragic-death-of-deanna-stevison-and-the-quest-for-justice/. Kiah and her family have been searching for justice challenging “The stand your ground”. There is much information still coming out about the injustice committed. Florida has a stand your ground law that protects murderers who hide behind this law. Kiah and I believe that a separate institution should investigate the murder of Deanna because her ex-girlfriend worked for the department prior. I hope and pray Deanna gets the justice she so desperately deserves. Kiah tells her cousin’s story who barley saw any media coverage. Today we will give Kiah the media coverage this case deserves. The information below is what we have of Deanna’s story. Kiah has a podcast the link is available above. You can check it out with substantial evidence to incriminate those culpable of murder. Deanna Stevison left behind family, a twin sister like me and son behind. The actions of murders impact people’s lives directly and indirectly.

In the early morning hours of June 8, 2017, Deanna Stevison was shot four times and killed. She was 31 years old. She left behind a 14-year-old son, an identical twin sister, another sister and brother, a devoted mom, and countless other family and friends who continue to mourn her loss.

When her family was told the devastating news, they were completely stunned to learn that the shooter, Jane Plunkett, was claiming self-defense. In Florida, this is known as the infamous "Stand Your Ground" law. We are petitioning the state attorney to hasten the investigation of Deanna Stevison's death and pursue charges against those involved. We can no longer stand by while our loved one is gone, and those responsible are free to live their lives.

The backstory Deanna was estranged from her former fiancé, Meghan, who began dating a former police officer named Amy Plunkett. A few years ago, Deanna and Meghan bought a house together, which Deanna and her son Skyler had been living in since Deanna and Meghan's relationship ended. Meghan made it noticeably clear that she wanted the house back. In the days leading up to her death, Deanna began to tell people that she was extremely nervous that "something bad" was going to happen. She believed Meghan could do anything to get the house back, including using her new girlfriend's knowledge of laws (like Stand Your Ground) to get Deanna out of the house.

According to police, Deanna went to Amy Plunkett's apartment, which she shared with her mother, Jane Plunkett (the shooter). Deanna's family has pointed out that she would not have gone to this person's house unless she had been asked to, and it was clear she had no intention of staying long because she left her car running with the door open when she got there, as if to indicate she was there to pick something up. The shooter is claiming that Deanna tried to push open the door, so she grabbed her gun and shot Deanna four times. She told the police that she didn't have her glasses on so didn't know who was coming into the house. She already knew how to say, "stand your ground" and was never charged.

Witnesses with text messages have come forward to local authorities to show a clear picture of the situation, yet the local authorities refuse to take the case seriously. Deanna's family was told by the local investigator on the case to essentially "let bygones be bygones" because it was a domestic event that went wrong.

Could you imagine knowing all the behind-the-scenes details about your child's death, or your sister's death, yet you're being asked to just let it go?? This is what Deanna Stevison's family is being asked to do. And meanwhile, Deanna's surviving child was forced to move out of his home, while Meghan moved into the house within weeks of Deanna's shooting and has now moved Amy Plunkett into Deanna's home.

As of the date of this petition, the state attorney is supposed to be investigating Deanna's death. It has been three months, and no current information has been provided.
