Anisa Linette Moreno was 26 and pregnant when she was shot at her home in the 2700 block of S. Coconino Vista in Tucson in the early hours of January 30, 2025. Family remembered her as a free spirit with an infectious laugh who cared for her children and shared a close bond with her father and grandmother. She was 15 weeks pregnant and a mother of three.

First responders found Moreno with a life-threatening gunshot wound to the back of her head; she was taken to a hospital and died on February 1, 2025. Investigators found no sign of forced entry and a single shell casing on the bed where she was found.

Authorities identified 36-year-old Bariki Amani Hopkins, Moreno’s domestic partner, as a person of interest. Hopkins told police an unknown man had kicked in the door, shot Moreno and fled; he also told officers he was the father of her unborn child and smelled of intoxicants at the scene. Hopkins was arrested and initially charged with attempted second-degree murder; after Moreno’s death the charges were amended to second-degree murder. Hopkins had prior convictions for misconduct involving weapons.

Does anyone who knew Anisa or who was in that neighborhood that night have information to share?
