Julian Reynolds, 30, was found shot to death on Isom Road near the Elzy Pearson Shooting Range in Casa Grande in the early hours of March 11, 2023. Reynolds, a Casa Verde High School graduate who collected brass casings in the area, discovered two men allegedly burglarizing his vehicle and a confrontation followed in which he was fatally shot.

Investigators say 21-year-old Roberto Barrera and 20-year-old Victor Leal ran out of gas in the area while driving with a 16-year-old and, while waiting for fuel, allegedly broke into Reynolds’ vehicle. Barrera and Leal are accused of fleeing after the shooting with some of Reynolds’ property; the 16-year-old reportedly ran from the scene. Detectives later located and arrested Barrera and Leal and recovered the murder weapon in the desert and the stolen property. Both were booked on first-degree murder, third-degree burglary, and tampering with evidence, and a 16-year-old is expected to face a tampering with evidence charge for allegedly helping hide evidence.

Are there witnesses or nearby residents who remember seeing vehicles or people on Isom Road that morning?
