HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION
1365 WEST GRANT ROAD |
|
|
On July 27, 2025, just after 9:00 a.m., officers from Operations Division West responded to multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting a shooting at the Grand Luxe Hotel, located at 1365 W. Grant Road. Once on scene, officers located two males with gunshot trauma. One of the males, 32-year-old Andrew Jacob Valencia, was pronounced deceased at the scene. His family was notified. The second male, identified as a 33-year-old, was transported to a local hospital and treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. During their initial response, officers located numerous witnesses and reviewed video surveillance from the hotel. TPD Homicide was called to the scene and continued the investigation.
Based on interviews and forensic evidence, detectives learned that there was an altercation between individuals shortly before the shooting. Surveillance cameras captured at least two individuals fleeing the area on a red and white dirt bike. Currently, detectives are working to identify the two and are asking anyone with information to contact 88-CRIME. Tips can be submitted anonymously. Photographs of the two males and the dirt bike are included below. Additional updates will be provided as they become available.
