The woman was found shot and killed just steps from her family's front door near the 4500 block of Third Street Northeast

Lisa Garcia has lived in the neighborhood for nearly three decades. She was shocked by what she saw Thursday evening.

"Someone had called and asked me come over to help with CPR," Garcia said.

Garcia, a medical assistant at a local hospital, rushed outside and found her neighbor lying on the ground.

Kline just graduated from Columbia Heights High School where she competed on the swim team. A family friend said she loved the outdoors and was extremely kind.
