A family gathering in Phoenix ended in tragedy on October 7, 2022, when 34-year-old Edna Aragon Baca was shot at a residence near 16th Street and Broadway Road. Officers arrived just before 9:30 p.m. after reports of a shooting and found Edna on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency medical care was provided at the scene and she was taken to a local hospital, where she later died.

Witnesses at the gathering told investigators that a suspect opened fire, striking only Edna, then fled the area. Homicide detectives responded and an investigation is ongoing; the Phoenix Police Department did not release information about a suspect and it is unknown if any arrests have been made. Few details about motive or circumstances around the shooting have been disclosed.

If anyone was at the gathering or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
