On the afternoon of December 18, 2016, 67-year-old Jacquelyn Brown was found dead inside her west Tulsa home on the 4000 block of West 8th Street. Neighbors first heard gunfire and saw police rush in; outside the house officers encountered Jacquelyn’s 72-year-old husband, Ronald Massengale, armed with a long gun. Investigators say Massengale fired toward officers in the street and was shot and killed by a Tulsa police officer.

Officers who entered the residence found Jacquelyn dead and three of the couple’s dogs also shot; a fourth dog was wounded but alive. Early evidence pointed to Massengale’s handgun as the weapon used inside the home. Tulsa homicide sergeant Dave Walker said Massengale had shot his wife and the dogs, then turned on the natural gas before stepping outside and firing, an act described as provoking a confrontation that resulted in his death. Detectives treated Massengale as the sole suspect; no other suspects have been publicly named.

Did anyone who lived on or near the 4000 block of West 8th Street in December 2016 notice anything unusual about the couple’s behavior beforehand?
