The law firm of Burt, Feldman and Grenier issued a statement of
condolences Saturday:

Laura has worked with us as family for more than 10 years. Her intellect,
passion and friendship has meant more to us than we can even begin to
convey. She was more than a co-worker; she was a friend, a mother,
grandmother, daughter and wife and gave all of herself to her family, her
friends and her work.

Veleria was a treasured member of our work family. She brought joy,
calmness, warmth and compassion to all that she did. She was a dedicated
mother, wife and daughter. She and her family shared a deep passion for
music and their faith.

On Thursday, forensic psychiatrist Steven Pitt was gunned down outside of
his Scottsdale office, police said. Pitt had been a consultant on on a
number of high-profile cases � including Phoenix's Baseline Killer serial
shooter, who killed nine people between August 2005 and June 2006, and
JonBen�t Ramsey, who was found dead the day after Christmas in 1996.

Witnesses told police they heard a loud argument before Thursday's killing
followed with gunshots, Phoenix Police Sgt. Vince Lewis said Friday. Pitt
was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooter fled the area. Witnesses described the shooter as an adult
male, bald and wearing a dark-colored hat with a short brim, Lewis said.
