Simon Verbick, 60, was shot and killed in the early morning of July 31, 2026, after a prolonged family dispute in a Chandler, Arizona, apartment near Germann and McQueen roads. The argument between Simon and his brother, 59-year-old Vincent Michael Verbick, reportedly stretched from the previous evening into the early morning and became physical.

Chandler police responded to a shooting call just after 4:30 a.m. and found Simon suffering from a gunshot wound; first responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Vincent Verbick was taken into custody and later charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault. Prosecutors say Vincent retrieved a firearm and shot Simon in the back after Simon entered a bathroom where Vincent was, and that Vincent had multiple opportunities to leave but did not. Bond was set at $1 million and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone knew Simon or heard about the dispute at that apartment, please share what you know with investigators.
