Hamantro Hylton, 34, was shot and killed outside his business near 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street in Phoenix on October 16, 2020. Witnesses heard a male voice call his nickname from an adjacent parking lot and saw a figure in a dark hooded sweatshirt; initial shots struck Hylton in the side and a subsequent shot to the head proved fatal at the scene.

Investigators reported blood inside the smoke shop — on the door, floor and counters — and two firearms were found in the establishment; an empty holster was recovered from Tamika Hylton’s purse. Tamika told police she had been inside the shop when the shots rang out and that she ran outside to find her husband injured, but authorities said parts of her account conflicted with scene evidence. Phone records showed a text sent from Tamika to a man who had recently arrived from New York, minutes before the shooting, mentioning pulling something off and getting money to move. A witness placed Tamika near her husband when the fatal headshot was fired, and she was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Are there details about Hamantro’s routines, the business, or anyone who saw him that night that might help clarify what happened?
