Martika L. Moore, 26, was found dead on the side of a Phoenix road near 29th Avenue and Northern in the early morning hours of Thursday, January 28, 2016. A 9-1-1 call around 6 a.m. reported an injured person; officers who arrived found Martika deceased. The medical examiner had not immediately determined a cause of death while Phoenix police treated the case as a potential homicide and opened an investigation.

A neighbor reported hearing a vehicle with a strong motor stop and remain for 30 to 40 minutes, then heard another car arrive and a door slam before both vehicles left. Investigators asked the public for information about Martika’s activities the night before she was found. No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Martika or saw unusual vehicles or activity near 29th Avenue and Northern on the night of January 27–28, 2016, please come forward with information.
