Steven O. Mata Jr. was 22 when he was shot and killed on Sunday, March 25, 2018, in Phoenix, Arizona. The shooting occurred at an apartment complex in the city; a dog was also shot during the incident. Born January 22, 1996, Steven was a Phoenix resident at the time of his death.

Officials responded to the scene, but specifics about what led to the shooting or what happened inside the apartment have not been made public.
