Two people were found fatally shot inside a white Ford Expedition parked on the shoulder near MC 85 and Cotton Lane in Goodyear on the morning of November 25, 2022. A passerby reported the vehicle with what appeared to be bullet holes; deputies from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office arrived just after 9:00 a.m. and discovered 48-year-old Violeta Amado-Correa and 54-year-old Jorge Guadalupe Rodriguez-Leyva dead from gunfire.

Detectives from the Major Crimes Division opened a homicide investigation. Officials told the public the case is active and that they are not seeking any outstanding suspects. Some have speculated about a possible murder-suicide, but authorities have not confirmed that and the question of who was responsible remains unanswered.

If anyone saw the Expedition or activity at MC 85 and Cotton Lane on the morning of November 25, 2022, please come forward with information.
