In the pre-dawn hours of October 6, 1995, 26-year-old Martin Zarco was found fatally shot in the head while sitting in his red and white 1984 Chevy S-10 pickup in a Chandler, Arizona, parking lot. Zarco, a Hispanic man employed by Coca-Cola, had been waiting for a product delivery to a discount supermarket on Warner Road just west of Arizona Avenue when the violence occurred sometime between 3:00 and 4:30 a.m.

The Chandler Police Department opened an investigation but the scene offered few clues. Investigators considered possible motives, including robbery, but the case produced no definitive evidence, no publicly identified suspects, and no arrests. The lack of witnesses and tangible leads left the investigation stalled and the homicide unsolved.

If anyone remembers activity in that parking lot the morning of October 6, 1995, or has information about Martin Zarco’s killing, please come forward.
