Overview
- David Williamson, 76, and Genifrances Williamson, 74, were named by Gilbert police after a shooting on Blackhawk Court that investigators are calling an apparent murder-suicide.
- A daughter told 911 she heard her parents arguing and her father threaten to kill her mother before multiple gunshots; officers found Genifrances dead and David critically injured, and he later died.
- In a separate case on East Sheffield Avenue, officers traced a 911 call to a home where they found a woman dead and detained 26-year-old Judah Benjamin Chesley, who was booked on suspicion of second-degree murder.
- Court records say a spent cartridge was found near the victim, multiple handguns and empty alcohol containers were recovered, evidence did not align with a self-inflicted wound, and Chesley told police he was drunk.
- A judge set Chesley’s bond at $1 million cash-only with hearings listed for Jan. 26 and Jan. 28, while the victim’s identity and cause of death in that case have not been released.
