A Stranger Shot Her In Her Apartment, And She Managed To Call 911 Before She Died, But Her Neighbors Didn’t Hear A Single Thing That Morning
19-year-old Rachel Hansen was a hard-working, kind, determined, and caring young woman with a passion for horses.
Rachel recently moved into an apartment located on the 3rd-floor of a complex in Gilbert, Arizona, and this past weekend, she had plans to attend a baby shower with some of her friends.
Rachel never got a chance to enjoy the baby shower or spend time with her friends, because a stranger stole her life just a couple of days ago.
In the early morning hours of Saturday, someone entered Rachel’s new apartment and shot her.
It was June 4th, at approximately 2 in the morning when Rachel called 911 to say that a stranger had shot her in her own apartment.
“On June 04, 2022, at around 2:00 AM, the Gilbert Police Department received a 911 call from a female caller who advised she had been shot by an unknown person inside her apartment near San Tan Village Parkway and Ray Road,” the Gilbert Police Department said in a statement.
“Gilbert police officers arrived on scene to find 19-year-old Rachel Hansen with a single gunshot wound.”
Although Rachel was rushed to the Chandler Regional Medical Center, she sadly did not survive.

Rachel had neighbors who were home when she was shot, but none of them heard anything that morning.
One of Rachel’s neighbors who actually shares a wall with Rachel’s apartment said, “To the family and friends of Rachel, I am so sorry for your loss! My apartment is wall-to-wall with hers and it breaks my heart that we didn’t hear anything and therefore didn’t call for help.”
“We had no idea anything had happened until police banged on our door. According to what I’ve heard from others, the people below her didn’t hear anything either.”
“I have no clue how nobody in our building was able to hear any of it. I truly wish we had so we could have gone to assist her with medical aid.”
After the Gilbert Police Department shared the news of Rachel’s death being under investigation, Rachel’s friend Cheyenne wrote on Facebook, “Over the last year I spent a lot of time weekly with Rachel and she meant a lot to me.”
“I literally saw her yesterday morning and she was doing so good and she was ready for things to turn around for her in life.. she did not deserve this…”
Another one of Rachel’s friends named Amiah said, “Anyone who met her can vouch – she was an angel and extremely sweet.”
“It was hard to have a bad day around Rachel. The sweetest person and no doubt a lot of people’s best friend.”
“She was a good friend of mine. She had an incredibly bright future ahead of her and had a lot of things in store for her.”
