On the night of September 19, 2024, 40-year-old Lenamarie Azzoli was shot and killed at a K Street home in the West End of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Neighbors reported hearing yelling between a man and a woman followed by multiple gunshots. Police found Azzoli unresponsive in the doorway and pronounced her dead at the scene. An autopsy confirmed she died from multiple gunshot wounds and her death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators believe Azzoli was dating 57-year-old Douglas Yonker, who was located on the porch and taken into custody as the primary suspect. The criminal complaint says Yonker first gave officers a conflicting account about an unknown shooter, but scene evidence including no shell casings in the street and blood on Yonker’s firearm led police to focus on him. Yonker was charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault and held at Cambria County Prison.

Just weeks after his arrest, Yonker was found unresponsive in his cell and was later determined to have died by suicide; a note was found. With the sole suspect deceased, the criminal case was closed and will not proceed to trial.

If anyone knew Lenamarie or has information about the events of that night, please share what can help investigators.
