On the night of May 19, 2002, three employees at a Jack in the Box on Main Street and Lindsay Road in Mesa, Arizona were forced into the restaurant’s freezer and shot. One of the victims was 31-year-old Beatriz Alvarado, who was working alongside Kenneth Brown, 27, and Fausto Jimenez, 30. The robbers expected a large take but left with roughly $280.

Investigators say the attackers gained entry after Christopher Hargrave, a former employee recently fired for stealing, used his old uniform to get inside while his associate Steve Alan Boggs entered through a back door. The two men, described in reports as connected to a white supremacist group, shot the three employees multiple times. Alvarado managed to get out the back door to seek help but later died of two gunshot wounds to her back; Jimenez dialed 911 before dying and Brown was killed inside the freezer.

A pawn shop notified police after Boggs traded the murder weapon two days later, and both Boggs and Hargrave were arrested in the investigation. Does anyone have information about Beatriz Alvarado or the other victims that could add detail to this case?
