On the morning of August 18, 2015, the bodies of 17-year-old Sophia Gibbs and her 18-year-old boyfriend Jesse Romero were found fatally shot near Salome Highway just west of 411th Avenue in Tonopah, Arizona. The pair were located at about 5:45 a.m. and authorities described the incident as a double homicide.

Sophia was described as Caucasian and remembered by her father as a talented softball player who had been struggling with drug use and had fallen in with the wrong crowd. The remote, desolate location where the teens were found yielded few immediate clues and efforts to identify a suspect have not produced any arrests.

The investigation remains open and cold; law enforcement and Sophia’s father have publicly asked for help, and a reward has been offered for information that could lead to a breakthrough. If anyone knew Sophia, Jesse, their movements on August 18, 2015, or has information about people seen in the Salome Highway area that morning, please come forward.
