Tina Marie Stimmell, 56, was shot and killed in her Mohave Valley, Arizona home on January 29, 2019, while she was sleeping. A mother of three who was also caring for three grandchildren, Stimmell’s death came at the hands of her husband, James Manker.

Manker later told investigators he intended the shooting as a mercy killing because of Stimmell’s kidney failure. That claim did not prevent prosecution. He was convicted of second-degree murder for the fatal shooting and was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

What details about the nights and days leading up to January 29 might help explain how this family tragedy unfolded? If anyone knew Tina or has information about her care or her relationship with Manker, please share what is known.
