Jesus Jesse Olivas was 22 when he was shot and killed in the Maryvale neighborhood of Phoenix in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 2016. He was walking north on 58th Drive when an unknown man in a gray four-door car drove up, shot him multiple times, and fled. Family remembered Olivas for his compassion; his mother said he often asked her for money to feed the homeless.

The initial investigation produced few leads. Months later investigators tied Olivas’s killing to a series of related shootings across Phoenix later labeled the Serial Street Shootings. Forensics and public tips led authorities to identify and arrest Aaron Saucedo, who was charged in connection with Olivas’s murder and other shootings in May 2017.

If anyone knew Jesse, saw activity in Maryvale around 58th Drive on January 1, 2016, or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
