On August 29, 2019, ten-year-old Yudiel Valenzuela and his mother, 30-year-old Ana Leticia Valenzuela, were fatally shot inside their mobile home in Mesa, Arizona. Multiple gunshots were fired from outside the residence in the early morning while the family slept; those bullets struck Yudiel and his mother, killing them. At least eight other people, including children, were inside the home during the attack but were unharmed, and investigators believe Yudiel and Ana were the intended targets.

Neighbors were awakened by the gunfire and the mobile home park was left reeling. The Mesa Police Department opened an intensive investigation and asked the public for help. Community members provided support and donations to the grieving family. No arrests have been announced and the identity of the shooter or shooters remains unknown as the probe continues.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that morning that could help investigators?
