In the early morning of November 5, 2002, a masked intruder forced his way into a south-side Tucson home and demanded money in Spanish and English. The assailant opened fire, wounding 14-year-old Carlos Raphael Molina, his 37-year-old father Steven Molina, and a 16-year-old sister. An older brother in the house was not physically harmed and the mother was not present.

Carlos, a freshman at Pueblo High School, died of his injuries on November 7, 2002. Steven Molina also died a few days after the attack; the 16-year-old daughter survived despite serious injuries. The identity of the masked intruder remained unknown and no arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath.

Does anyone have information about the home invasion or remember events from that neighborhood in November 2002?
