Barbarajean Lombardi was 18 when she was found shot to death on September 16, 2021, at a home on Granville Court in Saint Petersburg, Florida. She and her friend, 21-year-old Tommy Dixon, were discovered around 11 p.m.; both died from gunshot wounds. Investigators described the attack as domestic-related and identified 29-year-old James Pagan, who had been romantically involved with Lombardi and was known to both victims, as the suspect. Reports say Pagan fled the scene after the shooting and had cut off his ankle monitor earlier that night.

Pagan had been living with Joshua and Gabrielle Clark for about seven months; Lombardi reportedly stayed over frequently during the prior five months. The Clarks said Pagan and Lombardi had been having relationship problems, including incidents in which Pagan damaged Lombardi’s phone and belongings. Pagan was later arrested in Alachua County on unrelated charges while St. Petersburg police prepared homicide charges in the double killing. Lombardi’s family remembered her as kind and compassionate; a fundraising page was set up to help with end-of-life expenses.

Did anyone in the Saint Petersburg area know Barbarajean or her relationship with Pagan and have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
