On the night of December 22, 2023, Quincy McMillon, a 28-year-old male, was working as a Lyft driver in Phoenix, Arizona, when his life was tragically cut short. Police were initially called to an apartment complex near 19th and Northern avenues around 9:00 p.m. for a reported fight. As officers were responding to the scene, the situation escalated dramatically when a 911 caller reported that shots had been fired.
Upon their arrival, officers discovered McMillon inside his vehicle,
slumped over with a gunshot wound. He was rushed to a local hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced deceased by medical staff. At the time of the shooting, Lyft confirmed that McMillon was not on an active ride. The details of what led to the initial altercation and the subsequent shooting are still under investigation by authorities.
A husband and father of five children, McMillon had moved to Phoenix from Colorado about a year prior to the incident. His family described him as a dedicated family man who was smart, loved robotics and basketball, and had been a great support to his mother. In the wake of his murder, his family has pleaded with the public for any information that might lead to an arrest, expressing their profound grief and the deep void his death has left in their lives. As of the latest reports, no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation. A $2,000 reward has been offered for any information that leads to an arrest in the case.
