On the evening of September 18, 2022, 48-year-old Kimberly Yacone was found dead inside her Las Cruces home after what deputies describe as a domestic dispute that turned violent. Deputies forced entry after receiving 911 calls from the couple’s 21-year-old son and a neighbor reporting that the younger 17-year-old special-needs son had come asking for help and that the mother had been shot. Kimberly was located in the master bedroom with apparent gunshot wounds to her face and back.

Robert Yacone, Kimberly’s husband and business partner in the restaurant Forghedaboudit, was found on the master bedroom’s back balcony armed with a handgun. Deputies say he fired shots at about 8:46 p.m.; three deputies returned fire, striking him. He was taken to a hospital with multiple upper-torso and arm wounds, placed under guard, and charged with willful and deliberate first-degree murder and firearms offenses. Records mention two earlier domestic-disturbance responses to the residence that year. No law enforcement officers were injured.

Robert Yacone later died on November 16, 2022. Was anyone in the neighborhood aware of tensions at the Yacone household before September 18?
