A 43-year-old woman who neighbors say left her boyfriend and moved in with her brother was shot to death Friday night in a mobile home park just outside of Cedar Rapids.
The woman’s ex-boyfriend was found dead near Mount Vernon and authorities say he killed himself.
Tammy Jo Tomberlin was shot to death at about 7:30 Friday night. Her brother, 48-year-old Duane Roy Tomberlin, was also shot, as was another man. Both men were taken to area hospitals. Authorties say their injuries are not life-threatening.
Witnesses in the mobile home park told police they saw 42-year-old Christopher Allen Vogt leave the site of the shooting in a red pickup truck. Investigators used the signal from Vogt’s cell phone to track the truck and, about four hours later, authorities found the vehicle in a farm field near Mount Vernon. Vogt was dead, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
