Model and Law Student Shot and Killed in Her Boyfriend's Bathroom.

Reeva Steenkamp was born August 19, 1983 to Barry Steenkamp and June Marshall, previously Cowburn.

She was a South African model who had always dreamed about becoming a lawyer.

At the University of Port Elizabeth she studied Law, graduating in 2005 later working as a paralegal before applying to the bar.
She used her platform to speak out on violence against women.

She had broken her back while horseback riding as a youngster and went through rehabilitation to walk again.

Reeva and Pistorius met over a lunch at a car racing track in November 2012.

On February 13, 2013, 20 year old Reeva, talked to her mom on the phone as she drove to Pistorius' place.

In the next morning, on Valentines Day, Pistorius says he panicked and he was terrified when he heard a noise coming from his bathroom.

He says it was too dark to see anything and he assumed that there was an intruder in his place.

He said that he grabbed his gun from under his bed and the rushed on his stumps to the bathroom.

So, the room was so dark he couldn't see if his girlfriend was in bed or not, but he could find his gun under the bed?

He doesn't attempt to warn her, wake her up or say anything to her about there being an intruder?He was so terrified that he ran towards the danger without a second thought?

Supposedly he shouted for Reeva to call the police.

He then fired four times through the bathroom door.

If he thought it was an intruder.. what made him stop?

What made him only fire 4 shots?

It was Reeva in the bathroom.

What was Reeva doing up at that time?

She had her cellphone in the bathroom with her.

Was she afraid and trying to call someone?

She was shot through her right hip, elbow, the little finger of her left hand was grazed by a bullet.
Finally she was hit in the right temple.

Since the first shot hit her in the hip, she would've screamed out.
Why didn't Pistorius stop when he heard her scream?

Pistorius called emergency services, but she had already passed away.

Neighbors reported hearing a woman scream, then moments of silence followed by gunshots and the more screaming and then more gunshots.

Oscar had said he fired at the bathroom door and then went back to the bedroom to check on Reeva.

When he saw that she wasn't there, that is when he put on his prosthetic legs, ran back to the bathroom and tried to break down the door, because the door was locked.

Why did she have the bathroom door locked?

Reeva sent a text message to Pistorius, three weeks before her murder.
She stated that she was afraid of him sometimes and how he just snaps at her.

On September 12, 2014 he was found guilty of manslaughter.
He was given five years in jail and served a one-year prison sentence.

On 3 December 2015, the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa overturned the conviction for mansaughter and instead convicted Pistorius of murder. 

On July 6, 2016, he was sentenced to 6 years in prison, despite the minimum sentence for murder in South Africa being 15 years. 

On appeal by the state for a longer prison sentence, the Supreme Court of Appeal extended Pistorius's prison term to 13 years and five months.
