John Kimmel, 36, was shot to death on the night of August 4, 2018, in a room at the Centerstone Plaza Hotel in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Deputies from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office treated the incident as domestic violence; Kimmel was pronounced dead at the scene while staying at the hotel for a two-day staycation.
A single suspect was detained at the scene: Kimmel’s 27-year-old ex-wife, Jeannette Kimmel. She was taken into custody for questioning but was not immediately arrested as investigators explored whether she may have acted in self-defense. The events that led to the fatal shooting and the nature of the couple’s history became the focus of the investigation.
No further information about arrests or the investigation’s outcome has been released. Does anyone have information about the case or knew the victim or family that could help clarify what happened?
