Anthony Covarrubias was 18 when he was fatally shot in the Ahwatukee foothills of Phoenix on the evening of March 7, 2022. Earlier that day he had been communicating with someone on social media and was later seen leaving his home carrying a duffle bag. Around 6:25 p.m. police responded to a 9-1-1 call reporting gunshots and a man lying in the road in the 4400 block of East Dry Creek Road. Officers found Covarrubias with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The duffle bag he’d been carrying and his cell phone were missing when his body was found.

The investigation identified three suspects. On April 21, 2022, Phoenix police arrested 18-year-olds Michael Parham, Tyshon McKenzie, and Alberto Jimenez in connection with the killing. Court records say one of the suspects admitted a verbal altercation with Covarrubias escalated into the shooting. All three faced charges including first-degree murder and armed robbery; additional charges included possession of a weapon by a prohibited person for Parham and McKenzie and narcotic drug possession for Parham.

Are there witnesses or anyone who knew Anthony’s movements that evening who can help fill in the gaps about what happened?
