It’s been about three weeks since an hours-long standoff rocked a Stamford neighborhood and led to the discovery of a homicide. As police continue to investigate that killing, there are also questions about what’s next for the foreclosed property.

“It's still hard. I mean, you can see we come home looking at this every day,” said Matt Gillespie Santa, gesturing to the now boarded up, blighted house next door to his.

The home at 263 Oaklawn Ave. has had piles of garbage, furniture and branches surrounding it since Dec. 2 when police used tactical vehicles to get into the home during a standoff and shootout that ended with the homeowner, Jed Parkington, 63, dead by suicide.

“You just don't know what's in the debris. I mean the gentleman had grenades. He had apparently Molotov cocktails. He had pipe bombs, and here I am standing next to piles of debris, not only in the front but also in the back and you don't even know what's in it,” Gillespie Santa stated.

Gillespie Santa said he’s been trying to get the blight removed for weeks, especially with all the kids in the neighborhood. He provided News 12 with emails and numbers of people he’s contacted from the city, the mortgage processor and Altisource, the company he was told was hired to handle the property. Gillespie Santa said there’s been little response.

To his surprise, contractors arrived Monday morning and spent the next few hours cleaning up.

“I’m happy to see someone here finally at least remediating some of the safety concerns I have with the building,” Gillespie Santa said.

But he has others—whether the structure is stable, who’s checking on the house and why lights remain on inside.

“There's just been all those concerns that weigh on me,” Gillespie Santa explained.

News 12 contacted Altisource to ask about plans for the property but did not get a response back.

Gillespie Santa is also still trying to make sense of what happened on Dec. 2. He and his husband moved in beside the Parkingtons two years ago.

“In general, they were very friendly. It was always the over the fence kind of conversation, like ‘Hey, how are things going?’ I'd see him outside sitting at his table playing with his dog Jacob, listening to the radio,” Gillespie Santa recalled. “He just seemed like your average person I guess you could say. And then…yeah.”

Chaos broke out at the Parkingtons' house when a state marshal arrived to evict them around 9 a.m. The couple had lost their home to the bank after missed mortgage payments led to years of foreclosure proceedings. That morning, Parkington pushed his wife out the door, told the marshal, “this isn’t going to end well,” and barricaded himself inside, according to officials. Hours later, after Parkington and law enforcement exchanged fire multiple times, he died by suicide.

Parkington had booby-trapped the house with explosives and had Nazi paraphernalia throughout, according to police. They also discovered a former tenant dead inside. An autopsy confirmed Carmine Boccuzzi, 79, was violently killed by “blunt impact injuries of the head and torso with gagging.”

Gillespie Santa said he knew other people were living with the Parkingtons, but he never saw them, including Boccuzzi.

“It's very hard for me to connect the dots together,” Gillespie Santa stated.

Police said their investigation into the homicide is ongoing.
