DOCS: 'Call 911' were a woman's last words to her father before she was shot five times
Domestic Violence
The case involves a domestic violence homicide where escalating conflict between dating partners led to a fatal shooting. Prior violence and threats were reported, and the suspect initially gave conflicting accounts to police. Neighbors and friends witnessed signs of ongoing domestic conflict and violence before the incident.
Bulock was charged with open murder and felony firearm. He gave conflicting statements initially but later admitted no third party was involved. Police recovered the murder weapon. Neighbors and a friend provided witness statements about arguing and pleas to stop. Court hearings are scheduled for mid to late October 2025.
Initial conflicting statements by Bulock blaming an unknown man created some confusion. Police concluded only Bulock and Nakken were involved.
Naomi Nakken called her father to call 911 during a violent altercation at Bulock's apartment. She was shot five times and found unresponsive by deputies. Bulock initially claimed self-defense against an attacker but later admitted no other person was involved. Witnesses heard arguing and pleas to stop before shots were fired. The investigation linked Bulock to the shooting with recovered firearm evidence.
High risk due to prior assault charges, witnessed violent behavior, and escalation to lethal violence.
Early intervention in domestic violence situations is critical. Witnesses and family members should report abuse promptly to prevent escalation. Prior violent behavior and threats are strong indicators of potential lethal outcomes.
Repeated violent behavior by Bulock and witnessed arguments were key early signals.
Witness reports of arguing, pleas to stop, and Bulock's prior assault history helped connect the case.
Recovered firearm and witness statements were strongest evidence.
Neighbors heard loud arguing, bangs, and a woman pleading 'please stop' before shots. A friend witnessed prior violence by Bulock and heard arguing that night.
No follow-up reports beyond scheduled court hearings were available.
Exact motive details and relationship history beyond dating status remain unclear.
