Diego Martinez, 30, was shot and killed in Phoenix on August 21, 2019, after returning to his apartment and finding it being burglarized near 15th Street and Van Buren. Responding officers found Martinez with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police identified and located a suspect the same evening: 14-year-old Aaron Chavez was taken into custody around 7 p.m. Investigators say Chavez was in the process of burglarizing Martinez’s apartment when Martinez returned, and that the confrontation resulted in the fatal shooting. Chavez was booked into the Maricopa County Juvenile Correctional Center and charged with felony first-degree murder, burglary, and armed robbery.

Are there readers who knew Diego or who have information about that neighborhood on August 21, 2019?
