On the evening of March 7, 2023, 44-year-old Jacques Bourdeau was hosting a dinner with family at his Mesa, Arizona, home when a 19-year-old acquaintance, Elliot Bennett, arrived after calling to say he would come over. Bourdeau met Bennett in the front yard; a short time later people inside the house heard gunshots. Bourdeau ran back into the house, saying he had been shot at, and locked the doors. Witnesses say Bennett forced his way in, and Bourdeau and a female guest hid in a bathroom before the bathroom door was broken down and Bourdeau was shot multiple times, falling into the bathtub.

He was pronounced dead at the scene around 7:30 p.m. The gunman fled in a gray sedan. Investigators traced the suspect to Bennett and arrested him March 9 at his Lake Havasu City residence. A grand jury later indicted Elliot Bennett on first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, and endangerment; court-ordered psychiatric testing found him competent to stand trial.

If anyone was at the house that night or saw a gray sedan in the neighborhood, can you help with information?
