On the evening of April 1, 2016, 21-year-old Diego Verdugo-Sanchez was fatally shot while sitting in his car at 5500 W. Turney Ave. in Phoenix. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died shortly after arrival. Verdugo-Sanchez was the youngest of four siblings and was expecting a child with his partner of five years, Marina Smith, who was seven months pregnant at the time; family members described him as a Gentle Giant who was always willing to help those he cared about.

His killing was one of several attacks tied to a string of shootings that had terrorized the Maryvale community between August 2015 and July 2016. Police later arrested 23-year-old Aaron Juan Saucedo, a former city bus driver, and charged him with multiple counts related to about a dozen shootings, including homicide, aggravated assault, and drive-by shooting. Were you in Maryvale around 2015–2016 or do you have information about Diego that could help investigators or his family?
