Raymond Neri, 53, of Brawley, California, was killed in Somerton, Arizona, on November 12, 2022. He was found with a gunshot wound in the parking lot of the Cocopah Casino at about 1:51 a.m. and died after being taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center.

The incident also left 30-year-old Joel Vazquez dead. Authorities identified 47-year-old Francisco Santiago Tapia-Munoz as the suspect in both killings; he was taken into custody and later charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, misconduct involving weapons, and unlawful flight from pursuing law enforcement. Tapia-Munoz was ordered held without bond. Neri’s family was not present at the court appearance, while Vazquez’s family was reportedly in attendance and had prior issues with the suspect.

Are there details about Neri’s movements that night or anyone who saw him at the Cocopah Casino that could help fill in what happened?
