On the night of January 17, 2020, Phoenix police responded to reports of a shooting near 24th Avenue and Hazelwood Street and found 23-year-old Andrew Dereck Santos in front of a residence with gunshot wounds. Santos, born April 16, 1996, in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Santos worked in IT, was married to his wife Madina, and was the father of a young son who required special care. His family reported financial strain covering funeral expenses, and an uncle started a fundraising campaign to help with the costs.

Phoenix police identified 20-year-old Jorge Ruben Mariscal-Magana as a suspect and arrested him on suspicion of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and possession of a weapon by a prohibited person. Authorities have not released specific evidence tying the suspect to the shooting and are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the area around 24th Avenue and Hazelwood Street see or hear anything that night?
