On November 12, 2018, 69-year-old Elizabeth Helen Coyle Boone was shot in her Meridian, Idaho home and later died at a hospital. She had recently filed for divorce from her 71-year-old husband, Michael Boone, and moved out roughly two weeks before. Elizabeth returned that morning with a family member to collect belongings. An argument in a room escalated; the family member waiting outside heard several gunshots and called police.

Officers arriving about 10:15 a.m. found Michael Boone dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and Elizabeth critically wounded with a gunshot to the head. Investigators determined a .45-caliber handgun had been used and the Ada County Coroner ruled the incident a murder-suicide. The couple’s three adult children and the community were left to mourn.

If anyone knew Elizabeth or has information about what happened that morning, please share what you can.
