Maria Guadalupe Lupita Acuna, 19, was fatally shot in her Eloy, Arizona, home in the early hours of December 22, 2025. Reports say she was asleep when the shooting occurred; the incident took place while law enforcement was responding to two separate firearm-related incidents in Eloy that night.

The Eloy Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for information. No arrest had been announced in the days after the killing, and detectives described few details about a suspect or motive in the initial aftermath.

Acuna’s family described her as kind and friendly. She leaves behind young children, a sister, and elderly parents, and relatives organized a fundraiser to help with funeral costs.
