On July 15, 1999, three people were killed in an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona. AnnMarie Merchant was one of the victims; her brother, 17-year-old Roscoe Anthony Merchant Jr., and AnnMarie’s girlfriend, Cindy Richards, were also murdered.

Eugene Robert Tucker, 18 at the time and a former boyfriend of AnnMarie’s, was identified by police and arrested. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder plus sexual assault, kidnapping, and burglary. In 2000 he was convicted on those charges and sentenced to death three times, along with additional prison terms for the other offenses; the convictions and sentences were later upheld on appeal.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or knew the victims and can share details that might help paint a fuller picture of what happened?
