Jeffery Bellemare was 59 when he was shot and killed around 1:30 a.m. on November 29, 2013, while working as a uniformed security guard at the Graybriar Apartments, 3810 N. Maryvale Parkway, in Phoenix’s Maryvale neighborhood. Family members say he left a Thanksgiving gathering to go to work that night. Witnesses saw a man and a woman flee the scene in an older model sedan, possibly with a vinyl top and front-end damage. The pair were described as a white or light-skinned Hispanic male and a female. Some witnesses recalled someone saying this is what you deserve before shots were fired.

Investigators have suggested Bellemare may have been targeted in retaliation after he reported a domestic violence incident involving drugs at the complex. The Phoenix Police Department released composite sketches and continues to seek tips; no arrests have been announced. A reward of up to $2,000 is offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Anyone who knew Bellemare or who has information about that night is asked to come forward.
