In the early morning hours of June 27, 2021, a burst of gunfire at the Frontier Motel, 1307 E. Main St., Mesa, Arizona, ended the life of 28-year-old Michael Johnny Gonzalez. Police were called about shots fired and arrived around 6:43 a.m.; Gonzalez was found dead in the motel parking lot from gunshot wounds after an initial shot was fired through the glass of a motel room and the shooting continued outside.

Investigators quickly identified 27-year-old Stevie Jones as a person of interest. Jones and his girlfriend were located and detained on June 28, 2021; after interviews with detectives, Jones was arrested and later booked on charges including first-degree murder, a class 1 felony, and misconduct involving weapons, a class 4 felony. The case record describes the sequence from the shot through the hotel window to the fatal confrontation in the lot.

Does anyone have information about Gonzalez’s last known movements at the motel or witnessed the incident that morning?
