In the early morning hours of December 30, 2021, a burst of gunfire in a Phoenix neighborhood left 40-year-old Seth Haefer dead from a gunshot wound. Officers responded just after midnight to the area of 19th Avenue and Missouri Avenue and found Haefer with a serious injury; he was taken to a hospital but did not survive.

The Phoenix Police Department opened a homicide investigation but, as of the latest reports, has not released a motive and has not identified suspects or made any arrests. Detectives describe the investigation as ongoing.

Anyone who was in that area around midnight on December 30, 2021, or who has information about the shooting is asked to contact the Phoenix police with tips.
