Janice Laborin, 41, was shot while inside a vehicle near Dysart Road and Elm Street in Surprise, Arizona, on the evening of February 9, 2025. She was transported to a nearby hospital and died of her injuries on February 11. The shooting has been described by police as a horrible act of domestic violence rather than a random attack.

Investigators identified 51-year-old Michael Lopez Jr. as a suspect and say he and Laborin were in a romantic relationship. Police reports say the shooting followed a dispute over accusations of cheating; Lopez called the shooting an accident. Lopez was located and arrested on February 13 and faces multiple charges including second-degree murder, disorderly conduct, misconduct with weapons, and discharging a firearm within city limits.

Does anyone in the Surprise area have information about Laborin, the relationship, or that February 9 incident that could help investigators?
