On the night of Sunday, February 12, 2023, 19-year-old Ramiro Melendez Lopez was fatally shot during an exchange of words between two vehicles in Phoenix, Arizona. He was a passenger in a white Mercury Grand Marquis near 4100 West Osborn Road when occupants of a grey sedan with black rims, tinted windows, and a loud exhaust opened fire. Two or three males in the grey sedan fired at the Grand Marquis as the cars drove alongside each other.

The Grand Marquis contained three occupants: Ramiro, another male passenger who was critically wounded but later stabilized, and a female who was not injured. Phoenix police arrived after an emergency call around 8:45 p.m.; the grey sedan fled south on 41st Avenue. Detectives processed the scene and interviewed witnesses, and no arrests had been announced in the initial reports. The investigation is ongoing.

Does anyone have information about the shooting, the grey sedan, or the identities of the suspects?
