In a tragic turn of events in Phoenix, Arizona, a 41-year-old woman, Daisy Ruiz, was found deceased in her home in what investigators believe to be a murder-suicide. The grim discovery was made on the morning of March 17, 2025, at a residence near 83rd Avenue and Broadway Road. Concerned relatives went to the home after not hearing from Ruiz and found her and a man deceased inside a room.
Phoenix Police Department detectives were called to the scene to begin their investigation.
Preliminary information suggests that an adult male, who was in his early 30s, shot and killed Ruiz, who was his girlfriend, before turning the gun on himself. The identities of both individuals were confirmed at the scene, though the name of the male suspect has not been publicly released pending notification of his next of kin.
The investigation into the double fatality is ongoing as authorities await the official findings from the Office of the Medical Examiner. Detectives continued to process the scene and speak with witnesses to piece together the circumstances that led to the violent encounter. At this time, no further details about a possible motive have been released to the public.
