On January 13, 2019, 18-year-old Fiasia Perry, known as Fy, was shot and killed outside a motel near 25th Street and Van Buren in Phoenix. The shooting erupted shortly before noon after a verbal confrontation on the motel’s second floor between two men and a larger group that escalated into an exchange of gunfire. Five others, three men and two women aged 19 to 41, were also wounded and taken to hospital; one suspect was reported shot and another male suspect was sought by police in the immediate aftermath.

Friends remembered Fiasia as outgoing, funny and loving, with a loud, boisterous laugh. Her family donated her organs, which helped save four people. There have been no public updates on arrests or the identity of the second suspect since 2019. If anyone has information on the shooting or the person sought by police, please share what is known.
