Phoenix Police detectives are investigating the death of an elderly man that landed his caretaker in jail.
According to the Phoenix Police Department, on April 10, 2025, around 5:15 p.m., Phoenix Fire responded to the area of 20th Avenue and State Avenue regarding an unresponsive adult male identified as 50-year-old William Miller. Miller was transported to a nearby hospital where he did not survive and was pronounced deceased.
Phoenix Police Department detectives learned that Miller was disabled and required a caretaker. This caretaker was identified as 36-year-old Nuru Niyonkuru. As the investigation progressed, it was learned that due to many factors, Niyonkuru did not care for Miller properly. This resulted in Niyonkuru’s arrest.
Niyonkuru was booked into jail on one count of vulnerable adult abuse.
Pending the examination results from the Office of the Medical Examiner, Niyonkuru may face additional charges.
Here’s another ICE Deportation Case in the making.
