Alan King, 33, was killed on the morning of August 16, 2012, in the parking lot of his Phoenix apartment complex near 27th Avenue and Bethany Home Road. The collision happened shortly before 10:00 a.m. while King was walking; police say a dark-colored sedan, described as possibly dark blue or dark green, accelerated toward him rather than attempting to avoid him. The force of the impact fatally injured King and detectives treated the case as a homicide, noting the vehicle’s apparent acceleration suggested the driver may have intentionally targeted him.

Investigators did not publicly release the sedan’s make, model, license plate, or other identifying details, and no motive or history of threats involving King was publicly established. The case was the subject of public appeals, including a Silent Witness broadcast on September 17, 2012, and a revisit on March 20, 2017, but available reports do not identify a suspect, arrest, or prosecution.

Did anyone in the Phoenix area see a dark-colored sedan acting aggressively in the Desert Place Apartment Homes parking lot around 10:00 a.m. on August 16, 2012?
