Mesa Murder Suicide: Mesa Apartment Complex Shaken by Apparent Murder-Suicide!

In an apparent murder-suicide in Mesa, police say a man shot and murdered his mother and sister before turning the pistol on himself.

At 8th Avenue and Country Club Road, a group of apartments served as the crime scene. On April 3, just after 7:30 p.m., according to police, officers responded to allegations of a shooting at an apartment.

Officers spoke with a man who had contacted police after arriving at the scene. The man claimed that he shared an apartment with his 46-year-old girlfriend and her children and that he discovered his girlfriend, her son, 21, and daughter, 14, all dead when he returned from work.

At the apartment, each victim was in a different room. Aide D. Popoca, 46, Ashley Popoca, 14, and Rafael Popoca, 21, who is thought to be the shooter, are their names.

According to investigators, the scene’s evidence is compatible with a murder-suicide. “It appears that the male shot his mother and sister and then shot himself,” Det. Richard Encinas said.

Neighbors who woke up to see crime scene tape and a sea of police cars were alarmed by the violent scene. “Tragic. Very tragic. It also makes me wonder what else is around in this neighborhood,” said Darell.
