Homicide Cases Keeps Phoenix Busy

Homicide Cases Keeps Phoenix Busy

Homicide in Phoenix

Police stay pretty busy in Phoenix, let’s be honest they stay pretty busy no matter where they work but especially busy the closer they are to the border. Homicide pops up all over Phoenix. They definitely do not get enough thanks or credit for all their hard work that they do for our country. They work hard to keep our families safe.

The Mesa police department has arrested two suspects in connection to the June double shooting. The shooting sadly left a woman and man dead. According to reports, the shooting happened early in the morning on June 16th at an apartment near Lindsay and Broadway roads.

The police were able to arrest the second suspect who is twenty-four year old, Ysidro Placencia.

According to reports, the male victim was twenty-two year old, Jesse Ibarra. At first was able to make it through the shooting. Twenty-two year old, Arturo Perez Jr. was the alleged shooter and Placencia was the lookout during the shooting.

Ibarra told the police that the Placencia stood by the door and watched for any passerby’s and was to pick up the casings from the scene.

The female victim was nineteen year old, Unique Aguilera was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Even though Ibarra was alive at first, after several surgeries he also passed away from his injuries a on June 27th.

Now Placencia is being charged for two counts of first degree murder as well as one count of burglary and one count of tampering with evidence.

It’s sad that two people lost their life due to people trying to steal from their home. They worked hard for their belongings and someone just felt they had a right to come in and take what they wanted. What is wrong with people that they feel that this kind of life is okay? It’s okay to shoot someone because you’re in a tight spot and you need something so it’s okay to end someone’s life? No.

At the Phoenix based Offices of Criminal Defense Lawyers PLLC, you will find the experienced, dedicated and highly skilled trial attorneys you need to protect your rights. Each of our attorneys made a conscious decision to become a criminal defense lawyer. We could have chosen any other field of law, but defending the freedom and liberty of people who are facing the possibility of incarceration was our first choice. We believe strongly that skilled and passionate defense attorneys can make a difference in the lives of their clients. We go into every case feeling that we can make that difference.

Hiring the Right Homicide Lawyer in Phoenix

Having a skilled homicide defense attorney is important in any criminal case, but it is even more critical in a murder case. To properly defend a client against a murder charge, a defense lawyer must be prepared to effectively challenge the prosecution’s evidence. To do so, a Phoenix Murder Defense Attorney must be prepared to effectively cross-examine the prosecution’s witnesses, including any expert witnesses.

Expert Witnesses

In some cases, a Phoenix Homicide Defense Attorney may need to use expert witnesses on behalf of the defendant to challenge forensic evidence, ballistics evidence and other scientific evidence presented by the prosecution. We are prepared to do so and have worked with expert witnesses in the past to provide a vigorous defense on our clients’ behalf.

In addition to fighting your charges at trial (or seeking a case dismissal for lack of probable cause), we can also negotiate with the prosecution to seek a favorable plea agreement. A plea agreement might involve a plea to a lesser offense or an agreement on sentencing that will significantly reduce the penalties you face.

Homicide Defense Strategy

We will take the time to talk to witnesses, investigate what really happened in your case, understand what evidence is in the prosecution’s possession, look for holes in the prosecution’s case, and determine if the police violated your constitutional rights or made other critical errors that can be used to your advantage.

We are committed to raising a strong and comprehensive defense on your behalf. Depending on the facts of your case, the following defenses and strategies may be helpful:

 

  • Self-Defense
  • Insanity
  • Mistaken Identity
  • Suppression of Evidence
  • Challenging DNA, Fingerprint Evidence and other Forensic Evidence
  • Challenging Ballistics Evidence (Relating to Firearms and Bullets)
  • Challenging the Reliability of an Eyewitness
  • Challenging Whether the Evidence Sustains a Murder Conviction
  • Negotiation with the Prosecution to Determine if a Plea Agreement Could

Significantly Minimize the Charges or Penalties you Face.

We have defended clients against murder charges and other felony violent crimes. You can be confident that you will have a highly skilled and dedicated defense lawyer who will advise you of your rights, help explain the process and work diligently to seek the best possible outcome on your behalf.

Stabbing Incidents in Phoenix

Stabbing Incidents in Phoenix

Phoenix Stabbing

Even though things are always changing, it seems like there’s one constant in the world. There will always be violence. Police have recently released a sketch of one of the suspects who was involved in a deadly tabbing in South Phoenix.

The Phoenix Police Department says that the suspects in the November 22nd stabbing could have been just sixteen and fourteen years old. The stabbing happened near 4th Avenue and Buckeye Road. How sad is it that a fourteen or even a sixteen year old can get access to a knife. Not only do they have access but they want to harm other people? Something is seriously wrong.

The Police say that the stabbing victim was twenty-four year old, German Del Bosque. They say he was stabbed several times, as he was just innocently walking with his girl friend.

Maria Ruelas (Bosque’s Grandmother) Statement:

I just pray that guy will turn himself in and pay for what he did,” said Maria Ruelas, Del Bosque’s grandmother.

 

Maria said that her grandson and girlfriend were planning on getting married just one month away from the stabbing. Now, his family will be laying him to rest.

According to the local witness reports, there was a sketch and it showed one of the suspects being a Hispanic girl. They think that should be as young as fourteen years old. They say she is around five foot tall and weighs around one hundred pounds. So she’s tiny. They say she has dark, poofy hair.

Police say that other suspect is a Hispanic boy, he could be around sixteen years old. They say he is around five foot, eight inches tall. They think he weighs around one hundred, fifty pounds.

Both of the suspects were reported to be riding a dark colored BMX or Mongoose-style bike. The Police still do not know what promoted this attack.

Police are asking that if you have any information regarding this case, then please call the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-7626 or the Silent Witness program at 480-Witness.

Please someone call with information about this case, kids should not be going around and stabbing people for the fun of it. Their parents as well as the authorities need to know what these kids are up to.

Lady Arrested for Stabbing

You don’t really hear about too many bearded ladies now days. Unless of course you’re thinking of a circus act, however the San Diego police have had a run in with one recently and it was definitely not dealing with the circus.

According to San Diego Police, they have now arrested a woman that they described as weighting four hundred pounds and also had a beard. She was arrested for her involvement in the stabbing of a man, who just asked for a cigarette.

On late Thursday night, the police arrested the bearded lady that they say stabbed the man in the neck on Wednesday.

Police Officer, Robert Heims, said that the thirty-nine year old man had walked up to the woman as well as a group of other people and had simply asked them for a cigarette.

According to the reports, the woman then told the man to get away from her things, right before stabbing him and running away. They described her as a heavyset woman with facial hair, she was wearing a white shirt and jeans.

The man had to be hospitalized, but was luckily expected to survive. Safe to say, he probably won’t be asking for cigarettes off of anyone anytime soon.

Phoenix Domestic Violence Cases

Abuse Happening at Home

Phoenix Woman Pleads Guilty to Murder

You know, every couple fights. Sure, everyone feels like they could “shoot” their spouse but no one actually does it. Except for maybe one Phoenix woman. She pleaded guilty to second degree murder. She fatally shot her husband in their home.

Thirty-one year old, Amanda Lynn Miller told the Phoenix Police that she shot her thirty-six year old husband, Jesus Nevarez-Galindo. She was trying to leave their home as it was filling up with smoke from a fire. He had set the kitchen on fire.

Court documents showed that police counted seven wounds in the man’s body. Miller told the police that the situation began as an argument over financial issues and lack of food in the house broke out. Sure makes sense. Hungry. Let’s catch the kitchen on fire.

Apparently the couple had quite the history of domestic violence.

Woman Suffers From Sexual Abuse

A young woman of only eighteen years old has suffered from serious injures as she was beaten, burned, and sexually assaulted and forced to drink bleach. This was after she reportedly refused to sell drugs for a man.

Twenty-five year old, Johnel Henry Thomas has now been booked into jail for one count of each sexual assault as well as kidnapping, unlawful means of transportation, as well as six counts of aggravated assault.

The court documents stated that the victim was taken to Mr. Thomas’ apartment in West Phoenix. She was taken there by another female and possible suspect.

After she was in his apartment, Mr. Thomas allegedly beat her as well as tortured the poor young girl. She recieved a broken arm, smashed hands, burns all over her body from a hot knife and swords, burns from the bleach being poured over her as well as bruises all over her body from hammer blows.  This poor girl, I can’t imagine what she suffered.

Violence Reported

The report also said that the police had stated that the victim had still had a belt around her neck when she was found by the police officers. There were also marks on her neck, ankles and wrists from her being restrained. She was also sexually assaulted, which also caused even more injuries.

Luckily a neighbor saw Mr. Thomas and another man dragging the eighteen year old girl into the suspect’s apartment and heard her please for help. The neighbor called 911.

When the officers had arrived to the scene the front and back doors were open to the apartment. Thomas was later located by the police in a stolen vehicle.

According to the report, when Thomas had seen the officers, he fled the scene, naked and out the back door. The victim was also naked as she walked from the back door. She was walking to the front of the complex to find the officers for help.

Domestic Abuse

Police said that she was understandably hysterical. She was telling them about the suspect pouring bleach on her and making her drink it. Officers were able to pour some water on the young woman and tried to get the bleach out of her eyes and off of her body.

The victim was later taken to the hospital for treatment. She told the medical staff that she had been sexually assaulted and the staff has confirmed that her injures match what she said.

As the police searched the apartment, they found a number of knives as well as swords and empty bleach bottle as well as two hammers.

When Mr. Thomas was interviewed by the investigators, he had told them that a female friend had “assaulted the victim inside the apartment” . However, he did admit to “having sex” with the victim. Another man was also taken into custody. He had told the investigators that he was in the apartment during some of the assault, however after his arrest he denied participating.

Police have said that the victim had severe burns. She even had to have surgery for her broken arm.

Robberies Near Phoenix

Robberies in Phoenix On the Rise

Police Investigate Robberies

Phoenix has seen a string of Home invasion robberies. Especially since May of 2017. The scary part of that is, these home invasions are sometimes linked to human trafficking. Not all of them of course, but a large number of them are.

The Baltimore County Police have charged three men for their involvement in a May 18th home invasion robbery. This happened in the Phoenix area.

According to the reports, twenty year old, Anthony Denicolis was charged with armed robbery for the robber in the 12400 block of Wolbert Way. He was also charged with Burglary, first degree assault, animal cruelty, and two counts of second degree assault.

Two other men were also charged, nineteen year old, Ronald Joseph Horvitz Jr and nineteen year old, Richard Peter Jaffray III with armed robbery and first degree assault. Not a great way to start adulthood.

Police say that the men entered the home of Mark and Renee Greene which around four o’clock in the morning and killed the family’s dog. The dog was a tiny little Shih Tzu and was killed with a baseball bat. According to the reports, they approached forty-two year old Mark Greene who was sleeping on the couch at the time. They wielded a kitchen knife at him.

According to Cpl. Vickie Warehime who is a police spokeswoman, they awakened thirty-three year old, Renee Greene who was asleep upstairs. They then forced her downstairs. She luckily was able to escape and made it to a neighbors house and was able to call 911.

Family Dollar Robbery

When you think of Family Dollar, you think of family friendly store. If you think of robbing a family store you must be pretty darn low in life.

Police are now looking for a man that’s apparently reached that point in life. He’s recently robbed a Valley Family Dollar store.

Phoenix police say that a robbery recently happened near, 16th Street and McDowell. This happened on June 17th. The suspect walked up to the cashier’s counter to pay for an item, however when the clerk tried to put the money into the register the suspect reached over the counter and stole the cash tray.

Police say the suspect is described as a male, Black or Hispanic man. He’s around twenty years old. He’s around 5’11 and weighs around 200 pounds.

Hopefully they find this man who prays on a story that strives to help low income families. Why would they want to take from the people that already have the least?

Circle K Robbery

Another robbery happened in Phoenix.  Silent Witness need the public’s help finding the suspect though. The male suspect casually walked out of a Phoenix Circle K with the cash drawer.

On May 17th just after 8 in the evening, police say that a Hispanic man had entered the Circle K near Broadway Road and Central Avenue.

The man then walked behind the counter after the clerk refused to sell him cigarettes. He then told the clerk to open the register and ended up taking the entire cash drawer. Greedy and rude.

You could see from the surveillance video that the suspect walked out of the store with the drawer. The suspect was last seen going west on Broadway Road.

The man was described as a five foot, six inch tall man. He weighed around 135 pounds, so very slender built. He was last seen wearing a green jacket and blue jeans. He was wearing a white Diamondbacks hat.
