On May 4, 2025, Farmington Police Department officers responded to a residence in the 1200 block of Randolph Avenue for a welfare check following a report of a possible domestic disturbance. The caller expressed concern for Alissa Greenfield (23), stating she had last been seen unconscious on the floor the day prior.
Officers attempted to make contact at the home but received no response. Entry was eventually made, and officers located Ms. Greenfield deceased, inside the residence.
