In the late hours of October 18, 2024, a verbal dispute among acquaintances in west Phoenix escalated into a fatal shooting that killed 25-year-old Andrue Abraham Encizo, a Hispanic/Latino man. The shooting occurred at a residence near 86th Avenue and Minnezona Avenue; police responded to a shots-fired call around 7:05 p.m. and found one man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound who was taken to a hospital.

Witnesses privately transported a second victim, later identified as Andrue Encizo, to a nearby hospital. Encizo died despite receiving medical care. Authorities say the exchange of gunfire followed an argument among people who knew one another. Multiple individuals were detained briefly and interviewed before being released; no arrests or charges have been announced and the Phoenix Police Department continues to process evidence in the homicide investigation. Andrue was described as a loving son and a brother to eight siblings.

If anyone knew Andrue or witnessed the shooting or the events leading up to it, please share information with Phoenix police.
