On the evening of June 10, 2016, 19-year-old Manuel Castro-Garcia was sitting in his car in front of a friend’s house near 65th Avenue and Coronado Road in Phoenix when a dark-colored sedan pulled up alongside. An argument with an occupant of that car escalated to gunfire. Manuel was shot, tried to drive away, crashed a few houses down, and later died at a nearby hospital.

The suspect fled the scene.At the time the shootings continued across Phoenix, investigators followed thousands of tips and canvassed a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. In May 2017 police arrested 23-year-old Aaron Saucedo; ballistic evidence and other information linked him to a series of twelve shootings between August 2015 and July 2016, including Manuel’s death.Manuel’s mother, Gisela Castro, described him as a hardworking welder and student who enjoyed basketball and was close with his family.

Does anyone who knew Manuel or was in that neighborhood on June 10, 2016 have information to share?
