Edward Murphy was 29 when he was shot and killed in Tucson, Arizona, in the early morning hours of a Friday in October 2014. Officers were dispatched to an apartment complex about 12:30 a.m. after a welfare check; they encountered a large gathering outside one unit and found Murphy inside with a fatal gunshot wound. Medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Tucson Police Department homicide detectives interviewed witnesses and processed the scene, but initial reports say the circumstances leading to the shooting were not immediately clear. In the days that followed investigators continued their work, yet no suspects or arrests were publicly named and the case later grew cold. Family and friends remain without answers.

If anyone was at that apartment complex that night or has information about what led to Edward Murphy’s shooting, please come forward.
