Cynthia Domini, 83, was killed on Christmas Eve 2023 in Phoenix during a holiday gathering at a private residence near Central Avenue and Bethany Home Road. She and her daughter, 47-year-old Maryalice Molly Cash, were both shot late that night after an altercation at the party. Both women were taken to a hospital and later died of their injuries.

Authorities identified 47-year-old David DeNitto, who was in a relationship with Molly Cash, as the gunman. After the shootings, DeNitto died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene in what authorities described as a murder-suicide. Cynthia was a retired school teacher and mother of five; she had been living with Molly, who was her caregiver while Cynthia lived with Alzheimer’s disease. Friends and family remembered the two as close and fond of sports.

If anyone was at the gathering or has information about the events that led to the altercation, please share what you know.
