Roxine Belle Foster, 59, was fatally shot on the afternoon of October 23, 2019, while operating a tractor on the ranch she shared with her husband in Grand Junction, Colorado. Deputies from the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office responded to the property in the 2200 block of I Road after her husband, Mark Anthony Foster, called 911 and reported that his wife had been shot by an unknown person. Deputies found Roxine deceased at the scene.

Mark Foster initially suggested his wife might have been struck by a stray bullet or targeted by people he had conflicts with, and he provided several potential suspects. Investigators later focused on him. Prosecutors alleged marital and financial motives and charged Mark Foster with first-degree murder, attempt to influence a public servant, and domestic violence. A .22 caliber rifle recovered from his vehicle was identified as key evidence. On March 31, 2020, Mark Anthony Foster, then 61, was taken into custody and later convicted by a jury of first-degree murder and two counts of attempting to influence a public servant; that conviction was appealed.

Does anyone have information about Roxine’s life on the ranch or memories of her that could help shed light on this case?
