Tremuir Richard Thompson was 16 when he was fatally shot in Phoenix on June 20, 2023. A student at South Pointe High School who played football, Tremuir had just been returning home after playing basketball with his brother when another vehicle pulled up near 48th Street and Baseline Road and shots were fired into their car. He was taken to a nearby hospital, underwent surgery, and did not survive his injuries.

Tremuir, described by family and friends as goofy, outgoing, and loving, had recently celebrated his 16th birthday and hoped to become a professional athlete. His family says he was not involved in gangs and was an innocent bystander. This killing followed the shooting death of his 16-year-old sister, Re'Mijae Thompson, three months earlier in a separate incident in Glendale; both cases are being investigated by Phoenix and Glendale police.

No arrests or suspects in Tremuir’s death have been publicly announced. If anyone has information that could help the family and investigators, please come forward.
