On the evening of February 23, 2022, two young men were killed on the 3000 block of West Arizona Street in the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood. Around 10:30 p.m., a silver Kia Optima driven by 20-year-old Juan Carlos Sanchez crashed into a parked van after shots rang out. Sanchez and his 19-year-old passenger, Iyad Muhammad, had each been fatally shot in the back of the head and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives focused on two suspects, Jameer Rice and Shaun Triplett. Investigators say Sanchez had picked the pair up and that the motive was a dispute over a stolen tow truck the suspects had used previously. Surveillance video and phone records show Triplett called Sanchez minutes before the killings, and DNA matching Rice was found on two of four bullet casings inside the car. Both men were later convicted in connection with these killings.

Does anyone have information about Sanchez’s last movements that night or about the area around West Arizona Street?
