Behind the walls of a very quiet gated community in Paradise Valley, a murder scene is unfolding. Neighbors or the media aren't being told yet anything yet about the crime scene inside, but the unusual number of  police units at the scene are causing lots of immediate speculation.  That's because this is Paradise Valley, the upscale Beverly Hills type community that is in some ways still recovering from the shock of Paradise Valley residents Glenna and Larry Shapiro murdered in their Paradise Valley home two years ago. 

In addition to the unusual number of police cars on the street, there are detectives on the scene, fire units and a search warrant has been executed. Paradise Valley Police are only releasing at this time that this is being investigated a death investigation at this point.

Michael Gilman

However, people close to the victim are saying its the homeowner Michael Gilman and the 70 year old was stabbed to death. It all began with a 911 call from his personal assitant who found Michael Gilman in the home and believed he was deceased. Officers and the fire department were dispatched and he was declared dead at the scene.

There is a $1,000  reward through Silent Witness on this case.
