A confrontation between a woman and her estranged boyfriend left both of them dead at a Southeast Side storage facility on Dec. 8, a Tucson police spokesman said in a Dec. 9 press release.
Roxanne Hamilton, 23, was shot and killed by ex-boyfriend Jerrod Wallace, 25, who then turned the gun on himself at a Southeast Side storage facility on Dec. 8, Sgt. Fabian Pacheco said.
Hamilton, who had broken up with live-in boyfriend Wallace and was planning a move back to Phoenix, had been removing items from her locker at the U-Store-It at 2855 S. Pantano Road, Pacheco said.
She was at the facility with her 4-year-old daughter and her daughter's father, who took the girl to the main office to call 911 when Wallace showed up an argument ensued, Pacheco said.
He said police were called to the facility at 4:42 p.m. and, upon arrival, found both Hamilton and Wallace shot dead.
"Roxie was a very, very sweet girl," said Hamilton's grandmother Silvia Robers in a statement issued by Homicide Survivors, Inc. "She was always looking for the good in people."
Hamilton's sister, Heather Hamilton, pointed out motherhood was her sister's top obligation. "Roxie's 4-year-old daughter was her main priority," she said. "She would have done anything for her daughter."
Homicide Survivors is seeking donations for the family to set up a trust fund for Hamilton's daughter and help with emergency expenses. Contact Homicide Survivors at 740-5729 for more information.
