Did anyone know Karen Schmeer?

She used to live in Somerville. Sad news.

"Karen Schmeer spent Friday in Brooklyn, N.Y., working on her latest project, a documentary film about the late chessmaster Bobby Fischer for HBO. She was hustling to finish the editing before the 40th birthday party weekend her closest friends were planning for her in mid-February. On her way home to Manhattan, she stopped to buy groceries.

It was there, in a crosswalk on Broadway at West 90th Street, police said, that a getaway car speeding from a robbery at a CVS store struck and killed Schmeer just before 8 p.m.

[...]

After college, Schmeer rented an apartment in Somerville with a friend, and soon went to work for Morris, primarily as a researcher."

Oh, how sad. I didn't know her, but I believe a friend did.

But even if it's not the same woman, that's just terrible.
