Jaquey James was 24 when he was fatally shot on November 20, 2023, at a bus stop near 51st and Northern avenues in Glendale, Arizona. Police describe the attack as a random act of violence: witnesses say the gunman, identified as 26-year-old Dominic Celaya, had been arguing with his girlfriend in a nearby car, fired two rounds into the air after exiting the vehicle, then walked to the bus stop and allegedly shot James and another man, 69-year-old Richard Hodakievic, multiple times. There is no known connection between the suspect and the victims.

Officers located Celaya hiding under a compost barrel in a nearby backyard after a search; a handgun was reportedly found in his backpack. He was arrested and booked on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of unlawful discharge of a firearm, with bond set at $1 million. James’s family remembers him as a talented musician and artist and as the father of a three-year-old daughter; they have set up a GoFundMe to honor his memory.

Does anyone have information about Jaquey James, that bus stop area, or witnesses to the shooting who could help clarify what happened?
