OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/22/2025, at approximately 5:19 p.m., Pinellas County sheriff’s deputies responded to 14557 Anchorage Circle in Seminole after receiving a report that someone had been shot. Deputies found 58-year-old Kimberly King-Judd at a neighboring residence. She told deputies that her husband, 65-year-old Steven Grossman, had shot her.
.
Investigators learned that King-Judd had recently filed for divorce following ongoing domestic problems. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, King-Judd was inside the residence with Grossman when he began making threatening statements. As she attempted to leave, Grossman allegedly began firing a handgun.
.
King-Judd escaped from the residence and reached a neighbor’s home. She suffered a gunshot graze wound to the back of her head and was transported to a hospital. Her injury was not considered life-threatening.
.
Deputies learned that Grossman remained inside the Anchorage Circle residence and was armed with a firearm. Rather than immediately entering, deputies established a perimeter and attempted numerous times to communicate with him from an armored vehicle and persuade him to come outside. Grossman remained inside.
.
After the unsuccessful attempts to communicate with Grossman, deputies entered the residence. They found him in the living room suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Grossman was transported to a hospital, where he died.
.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Robbery & Homicide Unit investigated the incident as an attempted murder-suicide. Because Grossman fatally shot himself while armed, surrounded by deputies and the subject of an active police response following the shooting of his wife, his death is classified for this database as suicide under police duress.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND
The Pinellas County sheriff’s deputies who surrounded the residence, attempted to communicate with Grossman and subsequently entered the home have not been publicly identified.
