In what was described as the first homicide in Marana, Arizona in 2016, 46-year-old Ana Solis was found shot to death in a home on North Iron Ridge Drive. The tragic event, which unfolded on Friday, July 1, 2016, also claimed the life of Solis's sister, 52-year-old Jeanette Hernandez. A family member discovered the bodies and alerted the authorities by calling 911.
Marana police investigated the incident and determined it to be a double murder-suicide. According to their findings, Ana Solis's 23-year-old son, Darius Solis, was identified as the suspect in the killings. Investigators believe that Darius fatally shot his mother and his aunt before taking his own life with the same handgun.
All three individuals were deceased at the scene from gunshot wounds. While the investigation continued, authorities did not immediately release a motive for the apparent double murder-suicide.
