Robert F. Candelaria, 38, was shot and killed in Phoenix on July 3, 2018. Police were called just after 4:20 a.m. to a residence near 19th Avenue and Mountain View Road and found Candelaria mortally wounded by gunfire; he died at the scene.

Detectives identified 25-year-old Anthony Guillermo Ramirez as the primary suspect within days and reported that Ramirez allegedly shot Candelaria after an argument, then tried unsuccessfully to shoot another man at the scene before fleeing. Maricopa County booking records show an Anthony Guillermo Ramirez was arrested and booked on July 7, 2018, on counts including first-degree murder and aggravated assault; those records describe a person matching the suspect description released by police. Public memorials describe Candelaria as a Sunnyslope High School alum and a warm, big-hearted presence in his circle.

Does anyone who knew Robert or who was in that neighborhood that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
