Genoveva Antillon, 38, was shot and killed just after 1:30 a.m. on May 30, 2024, outside a mobile home near 16th Street and Broadway Road in south Phoenix. First responders transported her to a hospital after finding her with a gunshot wound in front of the home, but she did not survive. She was known by the nickname Gorda.

Investigators focused on a man who was on the property that night, 35-year-old Maury Williamson. Witnesses initially said they only heard gunfire, but Williamson’s statements conflicted with evidence recovered at the scene. After further questioning he admitted to firing the gun and said he had aimed at a dog he believed was attacking him; he said Antillon was behind the dog when she was struck. A search warrant executed at the mobile home turned up a firearm hidden inside.

Williamson was arrested and booked on multiple felony counts, including manslaughter, weapons violations, and tampering with evidence. Few other details about motive or the events leading up to the shooting have been released; anyone who was at or near 16th Street and Broadway Road that morning is urged to share information with investigators.
