Adrian Miramontes-Nunez, 22, was one of three men shot and killed during a family gathering at the Rios home in the rural Wittmann community northwest of Phoenix on the night of August 9, 2018. The gathering reportedly turned violent when gunfire erupted; Adrian, described by relatives as a new father with an infant daughter and a fiancée who was heavily pregnant, was killed along with Juan Rios and Julio Rios. Adrian’s obituary and funeral arrangements were handled through a Phoenix funeral home, reflecting his ties to the city even though the shooting occurred outside its limits.

Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office detectives identified and arrested a suspect, Hermelindo Guzman Sanchez, and news reports noted alcohol was present and appeared to play a role, though a clear motive was not provided. Homicide databases list Adrian’s death among gun-violence deaths associated with the Phoenix area and mark the case as resolved for investigative purposes.
