On the late morning of September 14, 1993, a man identified as Richard Kenneth Djerf went to the Luna family home in Maryvale, Arizona carrying a vase of artificial flowers. Patricia Valdez Luna, 42, answered and was forced inside along with her 5-year-old son, Damien. Djerf brandished a handgun, bound Patricia and Damien to chairs, and repeatedly questioned whether she or her son should die.

The violence continued as other family members returned home. Eighteen-year-old Rochelle Luna was taken to a bedroom, assaulted and murdered. Albert Luna Sr., 46, was attacked with an aluminum baseball bat and then shot multiple times. Djerf later returned to the kitchen and shot Patricia and Damien at close range. He tried to douse the house with gasoline and set it on fire, but the blaze did not start. Albert Luna Jr. discovered the bodies the next day.

The investigation led to Djerf, who confessed to acquaintances and was arrested on September 18, 1993. He pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to death. Does anyone have information about the victims or the family that could shed more light on their lives before this crime?
