Briza Reyes was 17 and five weeks pregnant when she and her 19-year-old boyfriend, Jesus Adolfo Tenorio, were shot while visiting an apartment complex near Pecos and Arizona Avenue in Chandler, Arizona. The shooting occurred the evening of November 9, 2022; Jesus was killed at the scene and Briza was wounded and died of her injuries on November 17, 2022. A stray bullet also pierced the wall of a neighboring apartment that night.

Police arrested 27-year-old Korey William Sandusky Jr. after an alleged break-in and assault at a nearby home; Sandusky, described as a previously convicted felon on probation with outstanding warrants from Michigan, was charged with homicide, aggravated assault, first-degree burglary, and illegal weapon possession. A second man, 28, was also taken into custody and remains under investigation. The motive for the shooting has not been established.

Briza’s family held a memorial and her mother has publicly opposed a plea offer for Sandusky while urging the community to support justice for Briza and the unborn child. If anyone has information about the November 9 shooting or the events leading up to it, please share what you know.
