Aaron Joseph Wedel, 26, was shot and killed on June 4, 2009, inside the garage of a west Phoenix home near 103rd Avenue and Indian School Road. Officers arrived around 12:30 p.m. and Phoenix police confirmed he died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head. Obituaries remember Wedel as a radiology technician who planned to return to Texas to build a life for his two young sons and describe him as a devoted father.

Police were initially dispatched to the residence earlier that day for a dispute involving 53-year-old Mark Benson, who had been living with Wedel’s mother and was reportedly moving out. At the time of the shooting Wedel’s mother and four other children were inside; none witnessed the shooting and two children briefly went missing before being found hiding and unharmed. Investigators focused on Benson, who was taken into custody on suspicion of second-degree murder; court records show he was later convicted and sentenced to 20 years. No other suspects have been identified in the case.
