Andrew Drew James, 25, was fatally shot outside his Phoenix apartment near 57th Avenue and Thomas Road on the night of April 4, 2020. He was a Native American father of two with a third child on the way and was engaged to be married later that year. Family remembered him as a loving partner and a storyteller who shared his family’s Native American traditions with his children.

The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a man run from the scene and a light-colored sedan leave, possibly driven by a woman. Surveillance footage from a nearby home captured the vehicle, which had a missing front driver’s-side hubcap. Phoenix Police say the motive remains undetermined and no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. A reward has been offered and the department has featured the case in its Hot Desert, Cold Cases series to seek tips.

If anyone knew Andrew, saw that vehicle that night, or has information that could lead to an arrest, please come forward.
