On the night of April 1, 2023, 26-year-old Isaiah Munoz was shot outside a Walgreens at 51st Avenue and Baseline Road in Phoenix after a heated argument with a couple, identified as Joseph Aguilar and his girlfriend. Shortly after the pair went inside the store, gunfire was reported at about 11:30 p.m. and officers found Munoz critically wounded. He was taken by Phoenix Fire Department paramedics to a nearby hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Homicide detectives focused their investigation on 36-year-old Joseph Aguilar, who was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Aguilar admitted to shooting Munoz but asserted he acted in self-defense, saying he was being attacked. Investigators continued seeking forensic evidence to support or challenge that claim.

Did anyone in the area that night see the confrontation or the moments after the shooting?
