William Baker, 31, was found with a gunshot wound inside his girlfriend’s Phoenix home on February 2, 2009, and later died at a hospital. Memorial and case-index sites concur on the basic facts: the shooting occurred at the residence identified in one account as belonging to Carrie Lazona McLauren, the weapon was recovered inside the home, and McLauren was arrested on suspicion of homicide at the scene.

Advocacy and remembrance projects characterize the killing as an intimate-partner-violence homicide involving a firearm. Searches of Arizona’s online court records do not clearly show a criminal case or final disposition tied to this incident, and later compilations describe the official record as opaque.

Does anyone have verifiable information about what happened after the February 2009 arrest or about court proceedings in this case?
