On Christmas Day 2017 in Phoenix, 11-year-old Nigel Ross, his 38-year-old mother Iris Ross, and his 10-month-old sister Anora were killed in a violent incident at an apartment complex on East Highland Avenue. Witnesses said Iris was shot on the front patio when she arrived to pick up the children. Nigel’s father, Anthony Milan Ross, then barricaded himself inside the apartment with the children, prompting an hours-long standoff with Phoenix police.

During the standoff Anthony Ross told officers at one point that he had killed the children and later threatened to kill them if officers approached. A shootout with police ended the standoff, an officer was injured, and officers found Nigel and Anora shot and dead inside the apartment. Anthony Milan Ross, 45, was taken into custody and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault; he was held without bond.

Nigel was remembered as a charismatic, budding performer; a video posted the day before showed him singing with his father. Does anyone have information about Nigel’s life or who might be able to add details about the family’s last days?
