A statement released by the church founded by her husband, Davey Blackburn, said someone had broken into the couple's home.

The statement about his wife's death read

Quote
It's impossible to communicate all the emotions my heart has been forced to process. My wife was such a beautiful, gracious, loving woman of God. I have not only lost my ministry partner and support but also my very best friend. There is no way to prepare yourself for circumstances like these. As deeply as I am hurting I am hopeful and confident that good things will come of this. I rest in the truth of Romans 8:28 that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose.

Thank you for understanding my desire to take these next few days to continue to grieve for Amanda Grace. My focus right now is to let The Lord minister to my heart as I continue to shepherd little Weston's. I'll be taking this time to focus on being a great follower of Jesus, dad, family member, and pastor to our growing church.

Amanda made it her life’s calling to love and serve everyone she knew. Even more, she has made it her life’s mission to see as many people as possible come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. I know that in her death and legacy even more people will come to a saving faith in Christ. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt her desire for me would be to continue what we've started here in Indy. I hold firm to the belief that God is still good, that He takes our
tragedy and turns it into triumph, and that the best truly is yet to come

Police believe the shooting took place during a robbery, but have revealed few details.
A news conference on the case was planned for Friday and a manhunt for the assailant is on.

So sad! May the soul of the mother and little child rest in peace.
For the husband, church and relatives may God console them... One thing is certain, the Robber can never find peace till he dies by gun.

I place a curse on those robbers this moment. As they shot a pregnant woman to death, cursed are they and their generation, they will all die by another set of armed robbers

I don't care if it is targeted or hired assassins, as far as the woman was with child and she was killed, may they perish a horrible death.
