Seleana Escobedo, a 31-year-old Hispanic/Latina woman, was found in the early morning hours in the yard of a home in west Phoenix near 59th Avenue and Broadway Road, suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Responders arrived around 5:45–6:00 a.m.; she was taken to a nearby hospital in extremely critical condition and died shortly after arrival.

The killing has been categorized as a murder by firearm and is listed among Phoenix’s unsolved homicides. Police initially reported no suspects and no known motive, and no arrests or persons of interest have been publicly named. A $1,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and tips have been requested through the Phoenix homicide and cold-case units, Silent Witness lines, and online forms. Few details about Seleana’s life have been published, and advocates say the case has received very little media attention.

Does anyone in west Phoenix remember that morning or have information that could help bring answers about who shot Seleana and why?
