Luis Siqueiros was a 19-year-old Hispanic/Latino man from Phoenix, Arizona, whose life was cut short by gunfire on the night of January 2, 2021. He was killed in a shooting connected to a Circle K convenience store at the intersection of 59th Avenue and McDowell Road in west Phoenix, a busy corridor of gas stations and small businesses. Advocacy and memorial sites that compile data on violent deaths note that he died due to gun violence in Phoenix on that date and identify him as the victim in
this incident.
According to police and local news reports, officers were first called around 8:50 p.m. to the area of 59th Avenue and McDowell Road after 911 callers reported a shooting. When officers arrived at the Circle K, they found an adult man suffering from at least one gunshot wound; he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Roughly thirty minutes later, another call came in from near 61st Avenue and McDowell, a short distance west of the original scene. There, officers discovered a second man in a vehicle who had also been shot; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
In the days that followed, Phoenix police publicly confirmed that the man who died in the vehicle was Luis Siqueiros and stated that both injured men were connected to the same confrontation that began near the Circle K. Investigators said that information indicated the two men became involved in an altercation in the area of 59th Avenue and McDowell and that gunfire was exchanged during that encounter. After shots were fired, the vehicle carrying the man who would later be identified as Siqueiros left the immediate area of the gas station and was later found stopped near 61st Avenue, where officers discovered him mortally wounded. The other man remained hospitalized in critical condition following the incident.
Initial coverage emphasized that the case was under active investigation, and police did not publicly release detailed information about what led to the argument, who fired first, or whether any additional people might have been involved. Later summaries of the case on victim-advocacy and case-tracking sites describe Siqueiros’s death as a “death by force” and continue to treat the homicide as unresolved, explicitly asking the public to share any updates or information. As of the most recent updates on those public case summaries—through late 2025—there are no reports of anyone being arrested or formally charged in connection with the shooting, and no suspects have been publicly named by authorities in open sources.
