On December 9, 2021, 38-year-old Stella Montes was shot while driving near 7th Avenue and Beardsley Road in Phoenix. Montes, who was driving with her fiancé and her eight-month-pregnant daughter, was involved in a traffic altercation after honking at the driver ahead. She drove around that vehicle, and the other driver followed and opened fire, striking her. Montes lost control of her white SUV, which then crashed into a wall. A neighbor and a police officer performed CPR, but Montes died at a local hospital from her gunshot wound.

The Phoenix Police Department released photos of a 2015 Dodge Challenger believed to be the suspect vehicle and later tracked a suspect to Michigan. Lewis Anthony Clark, 33, was arrested and extradited to Arizona to face charges in Montes’ killing. The family had recently moved into a new home and described her as a strong mother and pillar of strength.
