The Recasner’s

On the evening of Thursday, May 27, 2021, 21-year-old Malik Miguel Recasner was shot outside his Phoenix apartment near 4700 North 19th Avenue at about 10:10 p.m. An unknown male approached him, demanded money while displaying a gun, and opened fire when Recasner refused and walked back toward his apartment. The shooter then forced entry into the apartment, where a woman was present; she hid and was not physically harmed while the intruder stole property before fleeing.

First responders transported Recasner to a nearby hospital, where he died of his injuries. Phoenix police opened a homicide investigation and appealed for public tips; a Silent Witness reward of up to $1,000 was offered. The suspect is described only as a male and has not been publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in the area that night see the shooter or have information about the break-in and theft?
