On the morning of Friday, January 20, 2023, 30-year-old Jessica Luz was shot in an alley in Chandler, Arizona, near Arizona Avenue and Fairview Street and later died at a hospital from multiple gunshot wounds. Taylor, who confronted Luz and demanded she leave. When she did not, Taylor returned to his house, came out with a firearm, threatened to shoot, and then opened fire.

Witnesses described a white male in glasses, a vertically striped black and white shirt and a gray hoodie leaving the scene; officers located a man matching that description and a standoff ended when he surrendered. In a post-Miranda interview he admitted to shooting Luz and reportedly said he had wanted to die by suicide by cop and been despondent after a failed attempt the night before. Court documents show he was booked on first-degree murder and weapon possession charges. An obituary lists Jessica Marie Luz of Phoenix as survived by six children and family.

Does anyone have information about Jessica’s movements that morning or about witnesses who were near Arizona Avenue and Fairview Street?
