Brooke M. Lundy, 28, was found dead in her Gilbert, Arizona, home on May 13, 2024, alongside her 40-year-old boyfriend, Matthew Blevens, in an incident described as a murder-suicide. Investigators believe Blevens shot Lundy multiple times before turning the gun on himself. The discovery came just twelve days after Lundy’s 28th birthday.

Originally from Grand Island, Nebraska, Lundy moved to Arizona about four years earlier and worked as a manager at a gas station, where she met Blevens. Family members say the relationship had become controlling and violent; in the weeks before her death they reported escalating abuse, including a broken nose and arm, and say Lundy told her mother on her birthday that Blevens had threatened to kill her and to harm her family if she tried to leave. Her family was making plans to help her escape when the killings occurred.

Would anyone who knew Brooke in Arizona or Nebraska be able to share memories or information that might help understand what happened?
