Adrian Carrillo Rodriguez, a male of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity from Phoenix, Arizona, died on May 31, 2014, in what authorities classify as a death by force and a homicide. Publicly available case summaries list his full name, the city and state where he was found, and record that both the date he was discovered and the date of death are the same day, but they do not provide his age, and it has not been made publicly available. His case appears in online homicide and cold-case databases as one of many unsolved killings associated with Phoenix, with the Phoenix Police Department identified as the investigating agency.
The online record for his case is notably sparse. A dedicated entry on a national cold-case site lists only his basic identifying details, the cause category “Death by Force,” and the confirmation that he died on May 31, 2014, in Phoenix, Arizona, with no narrative description of how or where the attack took place. The same page explicitly invites the public to “provide case information” and notes that there are no links to additional sources, underscoring that no open-source articles, police bulletins, or news reports have been connected to his name in that database. On related crime-mapping pages that aggregate cold cases from Phoenix, his name appears in sidebars listing unsolved murders, again without any added biographical details, scene description, or age.
A forum entry tied to his cold-case listing, posted in early 2024, reflects frustration from at least one member of the public about how little information is available. The poster comments on the lack of media coverage or public detail surrounding Adrian’s killing and wonders whether there were any witnesses or community members who might have seen or heard something on the day he died. This discussion thread, however, is only accessible behind a login wall, and from what can be seen without logging in, it appears to be speculative in tone and does not add verified investigative facts to the record.
Across the online sources that reference his case, there is no indication that police have publicly identified any suspect, person of interest, or motive, and there are no open-source records of an arrest specifically tied to his homicide. His name continues to appear in cold-case and unsolved-homicide sections rather than among cleared or solved cases, implying that investigators have not yet brought anyone to justice for his death and that the case remains open and unresolved as of the most recent updates to these databases.
