In the early morning hours of March 10, 2022, 20-year-old Hispanic male Geovani Cruz-Fidencio was shot dead during a violent intrusion at his family home on Tidwell Circle in Alpharetta, Georgia. Authorities say a known acquaintance, 34-year-old Juan Escalante-Alarcon, forced his way into the residence and opened fire. Cruz-Fidencio and his 35-year-old cousin Ivan Cordero were both killed by gunshot wounds; a 17-year-old was also shot but survived.

Family members described the motive as a personal matter. Investigators reported that Escalante-Alarcon had allegedly broken into the same home about a month earlier, and that active warrants for home invasion, aggravated assault, and cruelty to children had been issued. After a multiagency 37-hour search, law enforcement located and arrested Escalante-Alarcon in Roswell.

If anyone knew Geovani, his movements, or has information about the incident or prior break-in, please come forward to assist investigators.
