Adrian Cantu Silva, 32, was fatally shot during a neighborhood disturbance in Phoenix in the early morning of May 24, 2023. Officers responded to reports of shots fired near 4100 West Medlock Drive around 4:00 a.m. and found Silva dead at the scene from a gunshot wound.

Investigators identified 30-year-old Rebecca Rodriguez as a suspect. Court documents indicate Silva and Rodriguez were having an affair and that the encounter followed an argument. Silva’s wife reportedly witnessed Rodriguez shoot her husband. Rodriguez was located and arrested by Phoenix police on June 5, 2023, at a residence near 4500 North 56th Drive and booked on a charge of second-degree murder. Rodriguez told detectives that someone else held the gun first and that the weapon discharged accidentally; she said she fired a warning shot after being handed the gun and that it then accidentally fired again while she was waving her hands.

Are there witnesses or nearby residents who heard or saw anything that morning and have not yet spoken to investigators?
