Amanda Ramsey Dockery, 48, of Geneva, Illinois, was shot dead at her home in the 1000 block of Pebble Beach Court on June 14, 2023. Authorities say her ex-husband, Chad L. Dockery, called 911 at 5:22 p.m. reporting he was armed and had killed her. The autopsy found two gunshot wounds: one fired at close range that fractured a rib and perforated a lung, and a second that fractured the skull and lacerated the brain and ear.

Officers found Chad Dockery in a vehicle at the end of the driveway and he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound with the same 9 mm pistol recovered at the scene. The shooting came a week after a June 9 court order requiring Chad Dockery to pay more than $10,000 in monthly installments to clear a debt; he had been in bankruptcy and faced child support and maintenance obligations. Amanda had been married to Chad for almost 21 years before she filed for divorce in July 2019; they had two children, Chase and Macey. Neighbors described Amanda as an amazing, sweet woman; she worked part time and was engaged to Michael Nenni.
