On a summer evening in Phoenix, Arizona, the life of 45-year-old Adela Garcia Hernandez was tragically cut short. On August 16, 2015, Hernandez, a female, and a man named Juan Antonio Manjarrez-Camarillo, were found shot to death inside her home near 85th Avenue and Camelback Road. The discovery was made by Hernandez's daughter, who went to the house after being unable to reach her mother.
The Phoenix police quickly began an investigation into the double homicide.
Authorities determined that the deaths were not the result of a murder-suicide and that the victims were likely targeted by someone they knew. In the immediate aftermath of the killings, police had strong leads but had not yet made any arrests. The lack of a suspect in custody left Hernandez's children with a sense of fear and a desperate plea for justice for their mother, whom they described as a happy person who was deeply loved.
In the course of their investigation, police sought help from the public to locate Hernandez's missing vehicle, a white 2006 Jeep Cherokee. While early reports from some online sources specializing in unsolved cases indicated that a primary suspect had been identified and was deceased, there have been no official announcements from law enforcement confirming an arrest or the closure of the case. The circumstances surrounding the death of any potential suspect have not been publicly detailed, and the case's official status remains unconfirmed by authorities.
