On December 27, 2016 at about 6:35 p.m., Richard Ares was found near the front of a building on the 4900 block of Duneville Street unresponsive with apparent gunshot wounds. He was taken to University Medical Center’s trauma unit and pronounced dead.

Investigators say Ares had confronted several males who were tagging a wall by an apartment complex. A short time later a vehicle described as an older black Honda Civic drove toward him and occupants opened fire. Video surveillance of the suspect vehicle has been released by police.
