On the evening of March 24, 2022, police in Phoenix responded to a shooting near 38th Street and Shea and found 54-year-old Amy Jo Jacobelli Malobicky dead outside her home from gunshot wounds. Officers also encountered a standoff inside the residence with her husband, 43-year-old Paul A. Fratella, who barricaded himself for several hours before a K-9 unit was used to take him into custody; he was hospitalized with injuries from the arrest. Fratella was charged with Amy’s homicide.

Family told investigators there had been prior, unreported incidents of domestic violence and that Amy had grown fearful of her husband. Records show Fratella had been arrested in California in 2018 for violating a protection order Amy had filed. The couple had moved to the Phoenix neighborhood only a few months before the shooting. Amy was a pharmacist, a University of Pittsburgh graduate, originally from Jeannette, Pennsylvania, and a mother of three; her father had died two weeks before she was killed.

Does anyone in the Phoenix area remember seeing the couple after they moved in or have information about the period leading up to March 24, 2022?
