On December 14, 2019, Samantha A Boyd, a 36-year-old White woman, was found dead in an apartment in Tucson, Arizona. That afternoon Tucson Police received a call from a man identifying himself as Victor A. Parsons, saying both he and his girlfriend had been assaulted and were injured inside the apartment.

When officers arrived, neighbors described Parsons walking outside the building armed with a shotgun and shouting. Police evacuated nearby units, brought in crisis negotiators and a SWAT team, and established communication with Parsons. After several hours of negotiation he emerged from the apartment just after 8:30 p.m. holding the shotgun and was shot by a SWAT officer; Parsons later died at the scene. Officers entering the apartment discovered Samantha Boyd’s body, and investigators concluded Parsons had killed her earlier that day.

If anyone knew Samantha Boyd or has information about what happened that day, please come forward.
