In the winter of 2014, a Glendale, Arizona community was shaken by the violent death of one of its residents. On the afternoon of Saturday, December 20th, police responded to a call from an apartment complex in the area. Upon arrival, they discovered the body of 55-year-old Michael Simpson, a male resident of one of the units. It was immediately apparent that he had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.
The initial investigation suggested an isolated incident, with authorities quickly
assuring the public that there was no broader threat to the community. Detectives began the meticulous process of piecing together the events that led to the shooting. They canvassed the apartment complex, speaking with neighbors and seeking any information that might shed light on the circumstances surrounding Michael Simpson's death.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the case grew cold. Information regarding a possible motive for the shooting was not released to the public, and no description of any potential suspect or suspects was ever provided. The investigation into who was responsible for the death of Michael Simpson remains open, leaving his family and community without answers or a sense of justice for his untimely demise. As time passed, the case faded from the headlines, becoming another unsolved homicide in the state of Arizona.
