In the winter of 2022, a tragic event unfolded inside an apartment in east Phoenix, forever altering the lives of two families. On February 7th, 35-year-old Rodrigo Antillon, a Hispanic male, was found deceased in what police would soon classify as a double homicide. The grim discovery was made at a residence located at 3230 E. Roosevelt Street, where Antillon and another man, 24-year-old Jose Bojorquez, had been shot and killed.
The investigation into the violent deaths of the two men
began after authorities were called to the scene. Upon arrival, they found both Antillon and Bojorquez with obvious signs of trauma, and it was quickly determined that they were the victims of gun violence. The timeframe for the incident was established to have occurred sometime between the evening of Sunday, February 6th, and the afternoon of Monday, February 7th. The loss of Rodrigo Antillon, a man who had successfully graduated from Arizona State University in the spring of 2014, was a profound blow to his family and friends.
As investigators delved into the circumstances surrounding the double homicide, a public plea for information was made in an effort to piece together the events that led to the shooting. Despite the ongoing investigation and the efforts of law enforcement, a suspect in the killings has not been publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the case. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, leaving a painful void and many unanswered questions for the loved ones of both Rodrigo Antillon and Jose Bojorquez. The case remains open as authorities continue to seek any information that could lead to a breakthrough in solving this tragic crime.
