DR
I am his wife and I can't begin to express how difficult it's for me, for my family and especially for Grandson who has no memory of his Papi 'Cuy', we have shown him through pictures how much he was loved and how close their bond was and we reminded each other that he's always with us including his family. We have all struggled in our way to move forward. I've had the most difficult time trying to completely move forward while not I struggle to feel completely safe not only in my community including anywhere I , but then again that's also part of the Trauma.

Cutberto Cuy Gastelum, a 35-year-old Hispanic/Latino man originally from Sinaloa, was fatally shot late on November 21, 2016, at the front door of his central Phoenix apartment near 12th Street and Indian School Road. Someone came to the door around 11 p.m. to midnight and fired multiple rounds through the closed door, striking Gastelum inside the apartment. First responders found him with gunshot wounds and he was taken to a local hospital, where he died a short time later.

Family accounts describe a quiet evening that turned into a sudden attack; his wife said someone knocked once, then again, and when he approached the door shots were fired through it. Relatives and neighbors placed candles and memorial items at the doorway, which showed two bullet holes. Investigators classified the incident as a homicide and Phoenix police homicide detectives were assigned to the case, but early reports gave no description of the shooter or a clear motive. No suspect has been named and no arrest has been reported.

If anyone knew Cutberto Cuy Gastelum, his routine, or saw someone near that apartment on the night of November 21, 2016, please share what information might help identify who fired those shots.
