I found myself wondering if a jilted teenage “suitor” had been riding along...got out...shot her...and walked away.
The suspicious mind does wander...

A fifteen year old would not have been allowed to date yet, so no, no jilted suitor. The Amish don’t work that way.
Dating starts at sixteen, by attending the “singings” on Sunday nights. The girls ride to the gathering with their brothers and ride home with the young man who asks, if she wants to, that is.
