A late-night dispute in south Phoenix ended in gunfire that killed 19-year-old Elijah Sanchez on April 13, 2024. Sanchez, described as Black / African American, was pronounced dead at the scene near 19th Avenue and Roeser Road after shots were fired around 2:45 a.m. The shooting also killed 38-year-old Lucio Lopez Segura and critically wounded a third man who was taken to a hospital.

Police say the violence began as a dispute involving four men. Officers found a fourth man at the scene who was not injured; he was detained for questioning and later released as detectives continue the investigation. No arrests or definitive suspect identifications have been announced and authorities are still piecing together what led to the exchange of gunfire.

Did anyone in the area that night see or hear something that could help investigators?
