On June 20, 2025, 49-year-old Francisco Vejar was killed during an armed robbery at a pawn shop at 1110 West Prince Road in Tucson, Arizona. The assailant entered the store and began shooting; an employee, 47-year-old Anthony David Tarli, was also shot and later died at a local hospital. Vejar was lying on the ground when he was fatally shot and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified the suspect vehicle and located it the same evening in Glendale, Arizona. Two people, 44-year-old David Javier Maldonado and 23-year-old Amari Taivonne Harris, were detained; search warrants executed in Glendale and Tucson led to the recovery of several stolen firearms. Both Maldonado and Harris were arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery and armed robbery, and were being held at the Pima County Jail.

If anyone was at the pawn shop that afternoon or has information about the robbery, the vehicle, or the suspects, please come forward.
