Adrian Reyes Valdez Avila, 24, was shot and killed on July 9, 2019, in a south Phoenix apartment complex near 29th Street and Roeser Road. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died after being taken to a hospital. Family described him as a devoted father of four, funny and generous, and the community organized a car wash and a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs.

Phoenix Police initially sought two people seen fleeing the scene, but investigators later learned those individuals were not involved. On July 31, 2019, 20-year-old Richard Lee Mitchell Chambers was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder. Court papers say the shooting grew out of a verbal altercation; an anonymous tip said Chambers and Adrian had fought the day before over Adrian’s firearm and that Chambers took the gun after that fight. Chambers denied involvement and was jailed on a $500,000 bond.

Who in the neighborhood might have seen Adrian in the days before July 9 or noticed anything unusual at the apartment complex that morning?
