Marcus Colvin, a 49-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Phoenix on the afternoon of October 9, 2020. The shooting occurred near 27th Avenue and Northern Avenue after a confrontation that involved Colvin, a 22-year-old man identified as Victor Vargas, and an unidentified woman who was with Vargas. First responders found Colvin suffering from gunshot wounds around 2 p.m.; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries.

After the shooting, Vargas and the woman fled the scene. Phoenix police identified Victor Vargas as the primary suspect, tracked him to a residence, and pursued him when he drove away. The pursuit ended in the Quartzsite area, where Vargas was taken into custody without further incident and booked at the La Paz County Jail on suspicion of murder.
