Shortly after midnight on May 18, 2017, gunfire shattered the Garden Grove Apartment Homes in Tempe, Arizona. Police found a running car with two young men dead inside: 20-year-old DeSean Estrada in the driver’s seat and 16-year-old Kayon Williams in the front passenger seat. A third occupant suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and later provided information to investigators.

Authorities say the shooting was not random. Estrada and Williams had arranged to meet several people at the complex for what investigators believe was a drug transaction. The probe resulted in the arrests of four men — Brandon Nichols, Taylor Bush, Montre Williams and Justin Santos — who faced first-degree murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery charges. In March 2018 a fifth suspect, Adrian Carlos Barrios, then 17, was arrested on a grand jury warrant; cell phone data placed him at the scene and showed he had communicated with one of the victims before the shooting.

Anyone with information about DeSean Estrada, the meeting that night, or the people involved is asked to come forward.
