William Farr, a 50-year-old deaf man, was found dead on February 7, 2016, on the sidewalk outside an apartment complex in the 600 block of South Rio Grande Street in San Antonio, Texas. Farr, who could neither hear nor speak, was discovered with a small index card that had the word sorry written on it. No obvious external trauma was noted at the scene, but an autopsy identified a small-caliber bullet wound to his chest.

Michelle Chase, 49, was arrested after police say she called them the morning Farr was found and reported having shot him in self-defense. Chase told investigators Farr had been banging on her doors and windows, demanding money, and attacked her when she refused. She initially denied owning a gun but later admitted to shooting Farr; officers recovered a .25 caliber handgun hidden in a sock inside a bag in her apartment. Chase gave conflicting statements to police about what happened and claimed Farr had been stalking her and became violent.

There are questions about Farr’s ability to communicate during any encounter and about the differing accounts Chase provided to investigators. Does anyone have information about Farr’s movements that morning or about contacts between Farr and Chase in the days before February 7, 2016?
