Gabriel Facio, 46, was killed in Apache Junction, Arizona after a June 2, 2025 confrontation during a traffic stop. Facio, who had been a police officer with the Apache Junction Police Department for three years and was born in Mexico, was struck in the face when the driver, identified as 37-year-old Roger Nunez, produced a handgun and fired. Officers returned fire and wounded Nunez; both men were taken to hospitals. Facio died of his injuries on June 8, 2025, with family at his side.

Nunez was booked into the Pinal County Jail and faces multiple charges including first-degree murder, seven counts of aggravated assault on law enforcement, and two counts of disorderly conduct with a weapon. He is being held on a two-million-dollar cash-only bond. The Pinal County Attorney’s Office announced it intends to seek the death penalty with the support of Facio’s family.

Are there witnesses or anyone with dashcam or phone footage from the June 2 traffic stop who can help clarify what happened?
