Julieta Marin Amador, a 30-year-old Hispanic woman, was killed by gunfire on November 21, 2022, at a home near State Route 347 in unincorporated Maricopa, Arizona. Around 9 p.m. a child placed a 911 call saying a family member was dying and that the victim’s husband had shot her. Deputies from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office found Julieta with a gunshot wound; she died at the scene despite attempts to help her.

The shooting was allegedly witnessed by Julieta’s two young children and her 12-year-old sister. Investigators quickly identified her 32-year-old husband, Ismael Ortega Hernandez, as the suspect; he reportedly fled on foot and left his cell phone behind. Authorities disclosed a prior history of domestic violence against Julieta and said Hernandez had been ordered deported in 2011 after a felony drug conviction.

If anyone has information about Julieta, her family, or the whereabouts of Ismael Ortega Hernandez at the time of the shooting, please share what you know.
