A heartbreaking tragedy has unfolded in Wyoming, where a fourth child has passed away following an apparent murder-suicide involving mother Tranyelle Harshman.

On February 10, 2025, Harshman allegedly shot her four daughters before taking her own life. Brailey Blackmer, 9, twins Brooke and Jordan Harshman, 2, and Tranyelle herself died at the scene. Seven-year-old Olivia Blackmer was airlifted to a Salt Lake City hospital, with prayers pouring in for her recovery.

Tragically, on February 15, Olivia succumbed to her injuries. Her father, Quinn Blackmer, shared the devastating news on Facebook, writing, “We are absolutely gutted. The peace I find is knowing my babies are together.”

Reports reveal that Tranyelle, 32, had been battling postpartum depression, PTSD, and severe depression. On the day of the tragedy, she called police, confessing she had shot her daughters and planned to take her own life.

Her husband, Cliff Harshman, defended her, stating, “My wife was not a monster. Mental illness is a chemical imbalance, often worsened by medication struggles.”

The devastating loss of these young lives has left a community in mourning. May they rest in peace.
