On July 2, 2023, 31-year-old Christian Galindo was killed inside her home in the 2800 block of W. 1st Street in Yuma when a stray bullet breached the residence and struck her. Deputies arrived after shots were reported at about 12:16 a.m.; first responders performed life-saving measures but Galindo was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators determined she was not the intended target and was an innocent bystander.

Within days the criminal investigation named two suspects. On July 3 investigators arrested 18-year-old Jose Flores and 18-year-old Mia Dominguez, both from Yuma. Flores was booked on a charge of second-degree murder. Dominguez was booked on second-degree murder plus charges of false reporting to law enforcement, hindering prosecution, and evidence tampering. The case remains an active investigation.

If anyone witnessed gunfire in that neighborhood that night or has information about how the stray round entered the home, please share what is known with investigators.
