In the quiet community of Prescott Valley, Arizona, the life of 54-year-old Ronda Ann Roll was tragically cut short on September 12, 2024. A White / Caucasian woman, Roll became a victim of gun violence in what authorities have described as a grim double murder and suicide.
On that Thursday, emergency services responded to a house fire, and upon extinguishing the flames, they discovered three bodies inside.
Investigators later identified two of the deceased as Ronda Ann Roll and her sister, 57-year-old Michele Lynn Kilstrom-Phillips. The third individual is believed to be the suspect in their deaths before taking his own life.
The investigation into the sisters' deaths quickly shifted from a fire investigation to a homicide case. It was determined that both Ronda and Michele had been shot and killed prior to the fire being set. The incident has been classified as a double homicide followed by the suicide of the perpetrator.
The loss of Ronda Ann Roll and her sister has deeply affected their family and the wider Prescott Valley community. In the wake of this tragedy, a fundraiser was established to help the grieving family with the unexpected funeral expenses for both women, as they navigate the profound grief of their sudden and violent loss.
