Rosario Cortez was 24 when he was killed on September 2, 2016, during a physical altercation that escalated to gunfire near Central and Dunlap avenues in Phoenix. The dispute involved two groups; Cortez was shot during the fight and died at the scene.

Police identified a 17-year-old male as a suspect and took him into custody less than two weeks after the shooting. During an interview with detectives the juvenile admitted involvement and was booked into juvenile custody on one count of second-degree murder.

Did anyone in the area around Central and Dunlap on September 2, 2016 see or hear anything that might clarify how the altercation began?
