Phoenix Man, 21, Charged With Murder in Neighbor’s Killing After $100 Car Dispute

Court records tie the shooting to a $100 repayment sought after a minor crash.

Overview

  • Police say Daniel Rombach Jr., 21, shot and killed Danielle Little, 35, at a north Phoenix apartment complex Monday and is being held on a $1 million cash-only bond on a murder charge.
  • Court documents state the confrontation grew from a $100 payment Rombach sought after Little accidentally backed into his car about a month earlier.
  • A neighbor recorded video that, according to AZFamily, shows Little shot at point-blank range while one of her children stood nearby.
  • Records say Rombach told police he did not intend to kill his neighbor, a statement now included in the case file.
  • Little’s family says she was a mother of seven with a newborn in the NICU, and a GoFundMe has been set up to help with funeral costs.
