In June 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona, 12-year-old Maleah Ellis was sitting in a car outside her home with her 33-year-old mother, Stefanie Ellis, and a 31-year-old family friend, Angela Linner, when a vehicle approached and occupants opened fire. Maleah and Angela were killed at the scene. Stefanie Ellis was wounded and later died in hospital days afterward. Authorities described the attack as part of a series of nighttime shootings in the Maryvale neighborhood that targeted people outside their homes or sitting in cars.

Investigators linked the Maryvale shootings into a pattern attributed to a person dubbed the Serial Street Shooter, citing multiple incidents of random drive-by-style gunfire. In May 2017 police announced the arrest of 23-year-old Aaron Juan Saucedo and charged him with numerous counts including first-degree murder, attempted murder, and drive-by shooting in connection with a string of shootings that police said left several people dead.

Does anyone who lived in Maryvale in 2016 remember unusual nightly activity or have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
