Phoenix, Arizona: Police Identify Man Killed in Maryvale Home Shooting as Isidro Rodriguez, 37

A 37-year-old man died after he was shot at a home in the Maryvale neighborhood of west Phoenix early on Sunday, police said, and detectives were still looking for the shooter on Monday.

Phoenix police answered reports of a shooting near 83rd Avenue and Camelback Road at about 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, November 8, Sergeant John Buchanan said. Officers found a man who had been shot at the home. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Buchanan said.

The man was not named in the first police account. On Monday, police identified him as Isidro Rodriguez, 37. KPHO in Phoenix published the identification on Monday afternoon, November 9, and The Arizona Republic reported the same identification from Buchanan.

No arrests by Monday

The department's homicide unit is investigating the shooting, Buchanan said. No arrests had been made as of Monday, November 9, according to Buchanan. The case remained open and active, he said.

The police account reported on Monday named the man who died, gave the time officers were called and the cross streets near the home. It did not include a description of a suspect, and it did not say what happened inside the home before the shooting. Police have released no account of a second person being hurt in the home.

Police ask for tips

Anyone who knows anything about the suspected shooter or the crime can contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS, which is 480-948-6377, Buchanan said. Spanish speakers can contact the same program at 480-TESTIGO, which is 480-837-8446, to give a tip in Spanish. Silent Witness is the Phoenix area tip program, and callers can give information without giving their names.

Maryvale is one of the largest neighborhoods in west Phoenix, a grid of homes, schools and shops built up over decades. Camelback Road is one of the main east and west roads across that part of the city, and 83rd Avenue is a main north and south road. The home in this case is near that crossing, in a part of Maryvale where houses sit behind the shops and parking lots that line Camelback Road.

What led to the shooting is now the work of the homicide unit. Police said the investigation continues, and the identification of Rodriguez is the last fact the department had released as of Monday night.
