On July 4, 2023, police and fire personnel in Henderson, Nevada, responded to a report of a possible slaying at a home on Las Palmas Entrada Avenue and found 79-year-old Susan Tobey with an apparent gunshot wound. She was taken to a local hospital, where she died of her injuries.

Investigators arrested Tobey’s husband, 86-year-old Jerome Seligman, after he reportedly called police and admitted to shooting his wife. Officers recovered a .38 caliber handgun in a holster on the kitchen floor. Seligman allegedly told authorities he was really depressed and indicated the condition of his wife’s room contributed to his actions. He was booked into the Henderson Detention Center on a charge of open murder with a deadly weapon. Records also note a 2018 incident in which Seligman was arrested for allegedly aiming a gun at another person and later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault.

The killing was the fifth homicide in Henderson that year. If anyone knew Susan Tobey or has information about what happened at the Las Palmas Entrada Avenue residence, please share tips with the authorities.
