In the crisp autumn air of a late Sunday evening in Phoenix, Arizona, the life of 37-year-old Adelbert Yazzie, a male, was tragically cut short. On October 28, 2018, near a ramada in the northwest corner of a park located on the 1400 block of W. Glenrosa Avenue, Adelbert was found suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite any efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene, the victim of a fatal shooting that shattered the evening's calm.
The investigation into his untimely death
led Phoenix Police to a suspect. A little over a week later, their efforts culminated in an arrest. On a Thursday, 33-year-old Christopher Wambach-Fields was taken into custody and booked into the Maricopa County Jail. He faced the grave accusation of 1st Degree Murder in connection with the death of Adelbert Yazzie, bringing a swift development to a case that had ended a man's life and left a community seeking answers.
