Jaime Torres, 19, was fatally shot inside an apartment complex on Coronado Road in Sierra Vista, Arizona, in the early morning hours of June 9, 2023. The wound proved fatal; two people transported Torres to Canyon Vista Medical Center but were unable to find the emergency entrance and left him outside a non-public door. Hospital personnel discovered him and an emergency room physician pronounced him dead after attempts to revive him.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Manuel Antonio Long as an acquaintance of Torres and arrested him on June 30. Long was booked into the Cochise County Jail and faces multiple felony counts including manslaughter, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, tampering with physical evidence, and influencing a witness; authorities say Long owned the weapon used in the shooting. Police continue to seek at least one other person believed to have been involved.

Torres had hoped to become a mechanic, inspired by his high school auto shop teachers, and was remembered by family for his devotion to his church, his love of working on cars, and his affection for nature. If anyone knew Jaime, his movements that night, or has information about who else may have been involved, please come forward.
