In the first minutes of October 1, 2019, three people were found fatally shot in Romero Park at 1317 Parsley Blvd. Among them was Abigail Maxine Abby Smith, a 24-year-old White woman. Police said the three had met in the parking lot and described the incident as a planned meeting that turned fatal.

Investigators identified Brian Perkins as the person who shot Smith and Michael Tolar and then turned the gun on himself; Perkins was dead at the scene so no arrest was made. Authorities said the parties knew each other and that the likely motive lay in their personal history, but they did not publicly detail that relationship. Police also said there was no indication drugs were involved and that no witnesses were found at the scene; the first alert came at 12:02 a.m. from a family member and officers arrived about three minutes later.

Smith was stationed at F.E. Warren Air Force Base as an electronic maintenance technician with the 90th Missile Maintenance Squadron, having joined the Air Force in January 2016. Does anyone who knew Abby or had contact with the people involved have information that could clarify what led to that night at Romero Park?
