In the spring of 2014, a discovery was made inside a Phoenix, Arizona residence that would leave a family grieving and a community with unanswered questions. On Friday, May 2, 2014, David Vanpay, a 40-year-old White/Caucasian male, was found deceased in his home located in the 5100 block of North 18th Avenue. The cause of his untimely death was a fatal gunshot wound, a violent end to a life that has left a void for those who knew him. The circumstances surrounding his death pointed to a homicide, launching an investigation by the Phoenix Police Department.
In the days and weeks that followed, investigators worked to piece together the events that led to Vanpay's death. However, the case proved to be a challenging one. Information regarding a potential suspect or suspects was not forthcoming, and no arrests were made in connection with the shooting. The trail of evidence grew cold, and despite law enforcement's efforts, the individual responsible for this act of violence has never been publicly identified.
Years have passed since David Vanpay was killed, and his case remains an unsolved homicide. The investigation is now considered a cold case, a term for criminal investigations that remain open for an extended period due to a lack of new evidence or leads. There has been no information released to the public that would indicate a break in the case, and the identity of any suspect or suspects remains a mystery. The Phoenix Police Department continues to seek information from the public that might lead to the resolution of this case and bring a measure of closure to Vanpay's family and friends.
