Claudia Gutierrez-Cruz was 20 when she was fatally shot in Scottsdale, Arizona, after stepping off a bus on May 2, 2006. The killing was one of a series of random shootings and related attacks across the Phoenix metropolitan area that began in May 2005 and continued through 2006. Reports tie Claudia’s death to a pair of attackers who targeted pedestrians and animals while driving around at night.

Authorities say the shooters were Dale Hausner and Samuel Dieteman; Dieteman allegedly fired the shot that killed Claudia while Hausner drove. A tip from a friend of Dieteman’s led police to concentrate on the two men, and a search of their shared apartment reportedly turned up a map with marked attack locations, news clippings and weapons. Both men were arrested on August 3, 2006, and charged in connection with multiple shootings, including Claudia’s murder.

Does anyone have memories of Claudia, where she worked, or details from that night that could help paint a clearer picture of her final hours?
