Laura Hernandez-Urbina, 41, was abducted from her workplace in the Deer Valley area on June 8, 2018, by her ex-husband Melkyseddek Munoz-Garcia. He forced her into her own car and later that evening, near MC-85 and Estrella Parkway in Goodyear, she tried to escape; Munoz-Garcia pursued her and fatally shot her. Deputies found Hernandez-Urbina with a gunshot wound and she died after being transported to a local hospital.

Munoz-Garcia, 43, had a documented history of domestic violence and a prior aggravated assault conviction involving Hernandez-Urbina. Investigators recovered evidence in her vehicle linking him to the crime. He was believed to use aliases including Octavio Olivas-Martinez and Melky, and may have been driving a 2001 white Ford Ranger, Arizona plate BTV5380, registered to Hernandez-Urbina.

Anyone with information about Munoz-Garcia, his whereabouts, or the vehicle is asked to contact the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
