A quiet Saturday evening in a Phoenix neighborhood was shattered by violence that ended in the death of Lucio Vega-Lopez. In the early hours of July 11, 2015, at about 12:00 a.m., two unknown Black males armed with handguns jumped the front fence of a residence in the area of 4600 N. 29th Avenue. One of the men began assaulting Lucio Vega-Lopez’s father. When the 38-year-old came to his father’s aid, he was shot.

The suspects fled on foot before police arrived. Lucio Vega-Lopez was born April 15, 1977; his death was recorded July 12, 2015. No arrests have been made and the two suspects remain unidentified. The investigation is ongoing.

If anyone has information about that night or the men involved, please share what is known.
