Woman killed at Greenehaven

Suspect Danny Veseli was charged with First Degree Murder.

On May 12, 2012, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a possible homicide which occurred in the Greenehaven subdivision north of Page, Arizona. 

Autumn Tenney, a 20 year old female, was shot with a high powered rifle at close range. The incident happened inside an apartment she was sharing with her boyfriend Cemaludin (Danny) Veseli.

That evening during a get-together with friends at their apartment, Tenney and Veseli began arguing. The two were alone in the apartment when a gunshot was heard. Veseli was seen running from the apartment and Tenney was located deceased. Friends who were outside called 911 and a firefighter paramedic with the Greenehaven Fire Department was first on scene and attempted life saving techniques, which were unsuccessful.

Two officers from the Page Police Department were the next to arrive. They located Veseli and placed him into custody without incident. Deputies with the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office arrived a short time later and secured the crime scene. This investigation is ongoing by detectives of the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office.

Veseli was transported to Flagstaff, where he is currently being held in the Coconino County Jail on the charge of First Degree Murder with a bond set at $250,000.
