In the early morning hours of May 26, 2021, the life of Olga Faye Olya Hahne, a 30-year-old White female, was tragically cut short in a Mesa, Arizona apartment complex. Police responded to the residence near Mesa Community College around 4:00 a.m. to find Ms. Hahne with a fatal gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The narrative of that morning would soon focus on the only other person present, her boyfriend, Michael Foster.
Present at the scene, 34-year-old Michael
Foster, informed authorities that a struggle over a firearm between himself and Ms. Hahne resulted in the weapon discharging. He was found in possession of the firearm and was subsequently arrested. The initial charge against him was for prohibited possession of a firearm, as he was legally barred from owning one. While he was taken into custody on this charge, the investigation into the circumstances of Ms. Hahne's death remained ongoing to determine if additional charges would be filed.

Ms. Hahne was a student at Mesa Community College with aspirations of becoming an EMT or ER Nursing Assistant. She was a devoted mother to three young daughters, Jada, LaReyna, and Zahara, who were the center of her world. Friends and family remember her as a high-energy individual who enjoyed traveling, dancing, and cooking.
