On the night of March 30, 2017, Erick Dominguez, a 23-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was shot once in the torso during an exchange of gunfire in the parking lot of the Fry’s Food grocery store near Buckeye Road and Avondale Boulevard in Avondale, Arizona. Two vehicles were in the lot when occupants of one opened fire on the other; Dominguez’s car left the lot and his brother drove him to a nearby fire station where firefighters began care and arranged rush transport to a hospital. He underwent emergency surgery but died during the operation that same night.

Avondale police told reporters they were seeking to speak with two unidentified people who might have been involved or who could provide information, but they did not release descriptions or identify a suspect in initial coverage. Later media references mention an arrest in an Avondale March homicide nine months later, but those public descriptions do not clearly link to Dominguez by name or provide charges or outcomes.

If anyone knew Erick, saw the Fry’s parking lot that night, or has information about the people who left the scene, please share what is known.
