Paula Marie Booth was 38 when she was found dead in her Lewisville home on Lewisville Trails Road on March 17, 2021. Born May 27, 1982, in Columbus, Ohio, she moved to Winston-Salem with her parents shortly after birth. Known to friends and family as Marie, she worked in real estate before earning a J.D. degree from Elon University School of Law and was employed as a Contracts Specialist at B/E Aerospace, part of the Collins Aerospace unit of Raytheon Technologies Corp. Colleagues remembered her for her professionalism and quick wit.

Initial reports suggested suicide, but investigators and the Forsyth County District Attorney’s Office concluded she had been shot and killed by her boyfriend, Jason Marshall Duncan, after a domestic dispute. Booth had reportedly asked Duncan to move out because of alleged alcoholism and abusive behavior; the argument escalated and resulted in two gunshot wounds to her head. Duncan was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
