Goodyear Police Department has announced a reward of up to $10,000 for anyone who can provide video footage or witness information about a fatal shooting that occurred at a house party in August 2026. The incident left a 19‑year‑old victim dead and is being investigated as a homicide.
The department is working together with the community organization Silent Witness to collect evidence from the public. Authorities say the shooting happened during an out‑of‑control house party, and they are seeking any recordings or statements that could help identify those responsible.
Police officials explained that the reward is intended to encourage individuals who may have captured the event on smartphones, security cameras, or other devices, as well as those who may have observed the events before, during, or after the shooting. The $10,000 incentive will be paid to the person who provides the most useful information leading to an arrest.
Investigators have not released further details about the circumstances of the shooting, the location of the house party, or any suspects. The focus remains on gathering reliable evidence from the community to move the case forward.
Silent Witness, a local group that assists law‑enforcement with community outreach, is helping to spread the request for information. The organization encourages residents who were present at the party or who live nearby to come forward with any relevant material.
The police department reiterated that all tips can be submitted anonymously and that they will follow up on each lead. The investigation continues, and authorities hope the reward will generate new leads that could bring closure to the family of the 19‑year‑old victim.
