Deborah Ann Deb Avery, 70, was found fatally shot in her recliner at her South Granby Street home in Aurora on June 20, 2021. The discovery came during a daughter’s visit and prompted an investigation that quickly focused on someone who lived with the victim: her son, Ryan Scott Avery.

Investigators reported tensions in the family over the daughter taking control of the mother’s finances, a dispute said to have angered Ryan. A search of Ryan’s bedroom and vehicle turned up an empty box for a .380-caliber handgun and a pistol of that caliber; ballistic testing matched ammunition from that pistol to casings at the scene. In the days after the killing, authorities say the same handgun was used in additional violent incidents, prompting a statewide alert while he was sought as armed and dangerous.

Does anyone have information about Deborah, the family, or the events around June 20, 2021 that could help fill in gaps?
