In the late hours of a Friday evening, on July 15, 2016, the life of 25-year-old Fernando Ceaser Chavez, a Hispanic male, was tragically cut short. Chavez was discovered in the south parking lot of the Knights Inn Motel, located at 1624 N Black Canyon Highway, near the intersection of Interstate 17 and McDowell Road in Phoenix, Arizona. He had been fatally shot.
The incident, believed to have occurred around 11:30 p.m., is thought to have been a drive-by shooting. When authorities arrived at the scene, they found Chavez's body in the motel's parking lot. Despite the ongoing efforts of the Phoenix police, a suspect in the deadly shooting has not been identified.
The circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear, and the investigation into Fernando Chavez's death continues. Law enforcement officials have appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case.
