The incident took place in the residential neighborhood of the 9000 block of Artesian Street, located on the city’s west side. Police responded to the scene, marking the beginning of a homicide investigation that would leave a family and community seeking answers for years to come.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement at the time, the specific circumstances
surrounding the fatal event have remained largely obscure in public records.
