Miguel Navarro was 16 when he was shot and killed at his family’s home near 67th Avenue and Mountain View Road in Glendale, Arizona. The shooting occurred on the afternoon of April 17, 2016, after Miguel had arranged to sell his Xbox through an online service and met a buyer at the house. A neighbor found him bleeding in the driveway and attempted CPR; Miguel was pronounced dead at a hospital that night while still on the phone with a 911 dispatcher.

Surveillance footage captured a gold Dodge Durango leaving the area after a single shooter ran from the scene, and police identified 19-year-old Aaron Ott from that evidence. A 17-year-old, Pedro Claro-Fernandez, was identified as the person who had arranged the sale; he was questioned and later released but remains listed in court records as a defendant. Ott was charged in Miguel’s death and later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed robbery; in November 2018 a judge sentenced him to 27 years in prison.

Miguel is remembered by family and friends as sweet, spontaneous, and funny. Did anyone in the Glendale area see the Dodge Durango or have information about the events that afternoon?
