Parish Ocampo, 21, and his father Ulises Ocampo, 46, were shot and killed during a violent home invasion in Phoenix in the early morning hours of March 8, 2013. At just before 2:30 a.m., two armed men forced entry to the family home near 16th Street and Van Buren, went through rooms looking for Parish and his father, and fatally shot both men. Parish’s mother and younger brother hid and were not physically harmed. The intruders reportedly demanded drugs but left without taking anything of value.

Parish had graduated from Arcadia High School in 2009, was working for a pharmaceutical company, and had planned to attend college with hopes of starting an international business in France. Phoenix police say there is no indication Parish or his father were involved in criminal activity, and investigators have noted the possibility the house may have been targeted in error. The suspects were described as two Black males: one about 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 3 inches, 230 pounds, wearing a black bandana; the other about 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, wearing a ski mask.

Anyone with information about that night or the two suspects is asked to come forward.
