A Mayweather-Pacquiao viewing party in Phoenix on the night of May 2, 2015, ended with the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Erasmo Gonzales. Gonzales and his family were hosting the gathering near 43rd Avenue and Thomas Road. He left briefly with a cousin to get food and later returned to the house where his 22-year-old girlfriend, Marylin Alvarez, was waiting.

Witnesses describe Gonzalez going into the bedroom, coming out upset, then returning; seconds later a single gunshot was heard. Family members found Alvarez kneeling beside an unresponsive Gonzales and a gun nearby. Gonzales was shot in the chest and died at a hospital. Alvarez was arrested and held on suspicion of second-degree murder with bond set at $500,000. She later told family she shot him accidentally and alleged he had struck her; investigators noted scratches and a bruise on her, and family reported Gonzales had appeared scratched after a previous altercation.

Are there witnesses who saw what happened in the bedroom or who can clarify the sequence of events that night?
