Selina Marie Toyos, 23, and her 4-year-old daughter Aleena Marie Bermudez were found shot to death in their Glendale, Arizona, home on June 30, 2019. Police responded late that night to a call about a possible shooting near 61st and Missouri avenues, forced entry to the secured residence, and discovered the two victims.

He said an intruder broke in and both victims were shot during a struggle, that he fled with the infant he shared with Selina to his parents’ house in Surprise, and that he covered the victims before leaving. Torres did not call 911 for three hours and provided multiple, conflicting accounts. Investigators reported no signs of forced entry or a struggle, no injuries on Torres consistent with his claim of being assaulted, and found his statements and a history of prior domestic abuse troubling.

Torres was arrested and charged in the deaths. The community held vigils and fundraisers for Selina and Aleena. If anyone knew Selina, Aleena, their movements that day, or has information about the case, law enforcement asks to be contacted.
