Explore documented Tempe homicide cases by victim, year and approximate location. Use the Tempe homicide map and searchable case directory to find source-backed information about murders, unsolved homicides and cold cases across the city.
Search by victim, street, year or incident type. Four records have approximate area pins; one awaits location verification. Search filters the case list; the map shows all mapped records.

The sources for these five records request information through Silent Witness. A published request does not independently establish the current investigation or court status. This initial directory does not represent all Tempe cold cases or homicides.
This initial directory uses individual Silent Witness case narratives and an original case flyer. Dates describe an incident or discovery, as explained in each record. Published information requests do not establish a current court disposition. Approximate pins describe public areas; discovery sites are identified explicitly.
No. This is an expanding source-backed directory. Tempe is a large city with decades of homicide records, and historical cases can be difficult to identify online. The page does not claim that the current count equals the official number of Tempe homicides.
No. Pins are rough area estimates, not verified crime-scene coordinates. Records without a sufficiently checked location remain searchable without a map pin.
Homicide means one person caused another person’s death. Murder is a criminal legal classification. Case cards preserve distinctions such as homicide investigation, murder charge, conviction, unsolved case and murder-suicide rather than treating them as interchangeable.
The current records link to reviewed Silent Witness case pages and, where needed, the original flyer. Future additions require supported victim identity, date, location and homicide classification.
