Everardo Sandoval was 27 when a night out in Phoenix on December 29, 2021, ended in deadly violence. Sandoval and two companions left a club near 19th Avenue and Camelback Road and were followed by a black Hyundai. At about 2:30 a.m., the chasing vehicle pulled alongside the friends’ car at a red light and multiple rounds from a rifle were fired into the vehicle.

Sandoval was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger, 21-year-old Jorge Granados, was critically wounded, taken to hospital, and later died. The third occupant was not physically injured. Phoenix homicide detectives cordoned off the area and have appealed for public help; no arrests or suspect names have been publicly announced and the motive remains unclear. A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about the black Hyundai or the shooting, please come forward.
