Ramon Flores Gonzalez was 23 when he was fatally shot just after 11 p.m. on December 5, 2023, near 75th Avenue and Indian School Road in Phoenix. First responders rendered aid but Gonzalez died at the scene from a gunshot wound. Investigators found that the shooter had fled before officers arrived and began processing evidence and seeking public help to identify the person responsible.

Within days, detectives identified a suspect, 21-year-old Jesus Castillo-Ordonez. On December 8, 2023, authorities located and arrested Castillo-Ordonez; subsequent interviews and investigation linked him to Gonzalez’s murder and to an armed robbery from November 9, 2023. Castillo-Ordonez was booked on multiple serious charges, including murder and armed robbery.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the events leading up to it, or Gonzalez’s movements that night is asked to share what they know.
