On the morning of December 1, 2025, Shaquille Simmons, a 32-year-old Black man, was fatally shot while arriving for a shift at a Little Caesars near Rural and Guadalupe roads in Tempe, Arizona. Witnesses heard multiple gunshots that shattered the storefront windows; officers already in the area responded and found Simmons and a 21-year-old coworker, Mary Visser, with critical gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a nearby hospital and later died.

Police arrested 27-year-old Benjaman Visser Jr., the husband of Mary Visser, at the scene; he was reportedly holding a firearm and surrendered without incident. Investigators described the attack as an ambush motivated by jealousy, alleging the suspect believed his wife and Simmons were involved romantically — a claim Simmons family members and police say has no basis. Benjaman Visser Jr. was booked into Tempe City Jail and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, held on a $2 million cash-only bond.

Family members remembered Simmons as a loyal, hardworking son and brother who had a long-term girlfriend expecting a child and was at work when he was killed. Does anyone have information about Simmons, his movements that morning, or witnesses who saw the shooting in the parking lot?
