Local police announced an initial arrest on June 1 of 28-year-old Edward Nichole Hughes on felony charges related to his involvement in the death of 29-year-old Mr. Gonzales.

Police officials say Leeontay Munns, 24, was arrested and booked on charges of first-degree murder; and Anya Bobo, 23, was arrested and booked for conspiracy and facilitation to commit first-degree murder.

In addition to the arrests, police officials are asking for the public’s assistance in locating 23-year-old Quincy De’Omunique Marquis Bowen, who is being sought on first degree murder in this case.

Anyone with information related to this investigation or whereabouts of Mr. Bowen are urged to call the Scottsdale Police Department at 480-312-8477.

Mr. Gonzales was found deceased on May 23, by Phoenix police at 1200 Galvin Parkway, officials say.
