A Scottsdale police vehicle and crime scene tape is seen outside the Scottsdale, Ariz., building where a man was found shot to death on Saturday, June 2, 2018. Police are looking into whether this homicide is connected to the shooting deaths of a well-known forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Steven Pitt, and two paralegals. (AP Photo/Paul Davenport) A man suspected in four Phoenix-area slayings that happened over three days killed himself Monday as police swarmed the hotel where he was staying, authorities said. Shots were fired as the SWAT team went into the suspect’s room, but officers did not fire, Phoenix police Sgt. Vince Lewis said. The man, who was not identified, was suspected in the deaths of a forensic psychiatrist, two paralegals and a counselor. The raid on the hotel room came after authorities identified the fourth victim, but authorities did not immediately link his death to the killings of the other three. Scottsdale police said Sunday that Marshall Levine, a 72-year-old counselor and life coach, was found shot inside an office building shortly after midnight Saturday. The Arizona Republic reported Levine also worked as a hypnotherapist and provided marriage and divorce counseling. On Thursday, Dr. Steven Pitt, a prominent forensic psychiatrist who assisted in high-profile murder cases, including the JonBenet Ramsey mystery in Colorado and a notorious Phoenix serial killer investigation, was found dead near Scottsdale. Witnesses reported hearing a loud argument and gunfire outside Pitt’s office. Police said the killings Friday of paralegals Veleria Sharp, 48, and Laura Anderson, 49, were related to the Pitt shooting, but were still trying to determine exactly what linked the three victims. “We don’t know the relationships or the connections,” said Sgt. Ben Hoster. How, or if, Levine’s death also had ties to the killings of the two women and Pitt was still being investigated, Scottsdale police told The Republic. Phoenix police say Pitt’s killer was described as a bald man wearing a dark-colored hat with a short brim. Investigators released a sketch of the suspect in the three killings. Sharp and Anderson were shot Friday inside a law office. Police say one of the women managed to walk to an intersection to seek help despite a gunshot wound to her head. She was taken to a hospital where she died. Officers followed a blood trail back to the office and found the other woman. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Hoster said there was no indication that family members of the victims were in danger. “We’re asking the public to remain vigilant and to call us if they notice anything out of the ordinary,” Hoster said. In the Levine case, Scottsdale police received a call Saturday about a man found fatally shot inside an office. Hoster did not identify the caller but said the person knew the victim. The killing occurred in an office park that houses mostly therapists and counselors. Pitt, 59, assisted in the investigation of the 1996 death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, who was found dead at her home in Boulder, Colorado. A decade later, he helped Phoenix police in the Baseline Killer investigation as they sought a man who was later convicted of killing nine people. The website of Burt/Feldman/Grenier, the law firm that employed Sharp and Anderson, says it practices divorce, child support and other aspects of family law litigation and mediation.
