On a November afternoon in 2022 at Desert RV Sales in the Whetstone area near Huachuca City, Arizona, 47-year-old Robert Lizarraga was killed while trying to stop a mass shooting at his workplace. A masked gunman, later identified as Bruce Alvin Hansberry Jr., entered the dealership armed with an AR-15 and began shooting. After the gunman shot 18-year-old Jordan Barajas in the back and then again in the face, Lizarraga drove his truck toward the shooter in an effort to stop the attack.

Hansberry fired seven rounds into the vehicle; one shot struck Lizarraga in the chest and proved fatal. The shooter fled but was arrested later that evening a few miles from the scene.Bruce Alvin Hansberry Jr. was indicted on one count of first-degree murder for Lizarraga’s death and nine counts of attempted murder, including charges related to Barajas and a three-year-old who was at the dealership. Witnesses said the masked attacker returned yelling Where is she?, and investigators noted the shooter asked about casualty numbers and severity.

Lizarraga is remembered by family as a kind, devoted husband and father and the primary provider for two young daughters.Does anyone have information about Robert, his work at Desert RV Sales, or the events that afternoon?
