Colin Grice, 57, was found dead in the hallway of his Timberhawk Circle home in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, after a 911 call on the morning of July 18, 2023. Deputies from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office pronounced him dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the chest. The emergency call came from his wife, 55-year-old Victorine Vicki Grice, who told dispatchers she had shot him after he attacked her and said she had been scared.

Investigators recovered a Ruger revolver in the living room. Victorine Grice was taken into custody; deputies reported blood on her feet and arm and said she requested an attorney. Authorities believed the shooting was not premeditated and charged her with second-degree murder. Records showed no prior criminal history for the couple, and Victorine Grice asserted a history of abuse. A week after her arrest she was found dead in her cell at the Douglas County Jail; officials reported no signs of trauma and the cause of her death was under investigation.

Colin Grice’s family said they believe he had been a long-term victim of domestic abuse and are creating a memorial garden in his honor. Does anyone have information about Colin, the Timberhawk Circle neighborhood, or the events that morning?
