In the winter of 2014, in Des Moines, Iowa, a domestic dispute turned fatal, ending the life of 68-year-old Jack Duane Dennis, a White male. On the evening of December 7th, police were called to a residence after receiving a 911 call from Pamela Bullington, Dennis's live-in girlfriend. Bullington reportedly informed the dispatcher that she had shot Dennis after he had punched her in the face.
Upon their arrival, law enforcement found Jack Dennis with a fatal gunshot wound.
His death was classified as a homicide. The subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Pamela Bullington. She was officially charged with first-degree murder in connection with his death and was awaiting trial for the shooting.
Jack Dennis was a resident of Des Moines who enjoyed playing pool in various leagues and was known as an avid card player. He is survived by an adult daughter. His death marked a somber entry in the state's statistics on domestic violence-related fatalities for that year.
