On the evening of May 21, 2023, Phoenix police responded to a call about a person with a gun near Third Street and the Interstate 17 access road. Officers arriving about 6:00 p.m. did not find a suspect but soon heard gunfire and located an encampment beneath the I‑17 Maricopa Freeway. There they found 49-year-old Jose Estrada, a Hispanic man, suffering from gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel responded but Estrada was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives later identified 36-year-old Billy Jameson as the suspect. On June 8, 2023, Jameson was taken into custody and booked into the Maricopa County Jail on multiple charges, including first-degree murder; bond was set at $1 million. Authorities have asked anyone with additional information to come forward.

If anyone saw activity near the I‑17 encampment that evening or has information about this shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
