Ari­ma po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the mur­der of 35-year-old Ben Plaza, al­so known as “Poon­ka,” who was gunned down on Sun­day night while in the com­pa­ny of two mi­nors in Ma­tu­ri­ta Ex­ten­sion, Ari­ma.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, Plaza was seat­ed on a chair along By­pass Road at 9.15 pm, when two men emerged from a Hon­da Vezel and opened fire.

Plaza was struck mul­ti­ple times about the body and died at the scene. The chil­dren es­caped in­jury.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors lat­er re­cov­ered 34 spent 9mm shell cas­ings at the lo­ca­tion.

Po­lice are urg­ing any­one with in­for­ma­tion about this in­ci­dent to con­tact them at 999, 555 or 800-TIPS.
