Ronni Marzolf, 64, was shot and killed at her home in the 3700 block of North Bosque Road in Golden Valley, Arizona on April 30, 2025. Authorities described the killing as a random act of violence and said there was no known connection between Marzolf and the suspect.

Officials say the events began in Kingman earlier that day, when 36-year-old Jeremy Muse allegedly held his girlfriend and her children hostage for several days; the girlfriend escaped and Muse reportedly fired at her as she fled but did not hit her. About an hour later Muse is believed to have driven to Marzolf’s residence and fatally shot her.

After the homicide officers found Muse’s vehicle near Highway 66 and Mohave Airport Drive. He fled a traffic stop, fired at pursuing officers, and crashed at Airway Avenue and Willow Road in Kingman. Muse then exchanged gunfire with police, was shot multiple times, and was taken to Kingman Regional Medical Center before being airlifted to a Las Vegas hospital. The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the homicide; the Arizona Department of Public Safety is handling the crash and the officer-involved shooting.
