On a Wednesday night in the fall of 2018, the lives of two young men were tragically cut short in a burst of gunfire. Henry Matus-Sanchez, a 26-year-old Hispanic male from Tempe, Arizona, was killed on November 21, 2018. The shooting, which also claimed the life of 25-year-old Marco Alvarez Jr., unfolded in the neighboring community of Guadalupe. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office was alerted to the violence at approximately 9:00 p.m., responding to calls of shots fired in the area.
Upon their arrival, deputies were confronted with a grim scene, discovering that two men had been fatally wounded. The immediate aftermath of the shooting was filled with questions as authorities began the difficult task of piecing together the events that led to the double homicide. Investigators worked to identify the victims and notify their families while canvassing the area for evidence and potential witnesses who might have seen or heard something that could lead to the person or persons responsible for the violent act.
In the days that followed, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office confirmed the identities of Henry Matus-Sanchez and Marco Alvarez Jr. as the two victims of the Guadalupe shooting. Despite their efforts and public appeals for information, the gunman remained unidentified. The investigation into the double homicide was launched with law enforcement actively searching for the suspect who had fled the scene. As of the latest available online information, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made in connection with the murders, and the case has not been officially reported as solved.
