German Del Bosque III, 24, was fatally stabbed on the evening of November 22, 2015, in south Phoenix near 7th Street and Buckeye Road. He and his fiancée were walking to a nearby Chinese restaurant when a man and a woman on bicycles approached; witnesses said the male got off his bike, punched Del Bosque and repeatedly stabbed him in front of his partner. Emergency crews took him to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead that night.

Investigators circulated a composite sketch of the female cyclist and reviewed surveillance video from nearby businesses. That footage helped identify the woman and led detectives to a residence about a mile from the scene. On December 11 a search warrant was executed; police reported finding a knife sealed inside a plastic bag in the woman’s purse and pants stained with what appeared to be blood inside the home. The woman’s boyfriend was identified as 35-year-old Jose Raphael Meza.

Phoenix police arrested Meza on January 15, 2016, near Central Avenue and Broadway Road and booked him on suspicion of second-degree murder; law enforcement later listed the homicide as solved following the arrest. Did anyone in the area see the bicyclists that night or have information about the movements of Del Bosque and his fiancée before the attack?
