Ashley Holden is excited to be part of the A-Team!
PHOENIX — It's been two years since 19-year-old Destiny Hernandez was shot and killed inside a home near 83rd Avenue and Broadway Road. As of Wednesday, no one is currently charged for her murder, but ABC15 is tracking a new call from police for information and the push by the teen's family for justice.
Estrada was still emotional as she talked about her sister’s case. She spoke with ABC15 for the first time back in July 2022, just days after the teen was killed.WE'RE HERE TO HELP Do you have a concern in your community or a news tip? We want to hear from you!Police said Hernandez was shot multiple times during a home invasion, but the suspects got away before police arrived. Another man, who family said was the teen’s boyfriend, was also shot but survived.
Five months after the shooting, Phoenix police arrested then-18-year-old Jvion Gadson-Scott. Court documents said police tied him to the scene with GPS data and evidence found at his apartment, including a gun. But the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office confirms the case was sent back to Phoenix police detectives for more investigation.
Gadson-Scott has since served time in prison for weapons violations, but the Arizona Department of Corrections website showed that he was released just last month. Phoenix Police told ABC15 they still consider him a main suspect."So the evidence that we're waiting for in the lab, it is a DNA type evidence," said Sgt. Brian Bower with the Phoenix Police Department.
