Phoenix, AZ – A 21-year-old man has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder following a shooting spree that resulted in the deaths of two individuals. Adalberto Pablo Cordova Torres is also facing a charge for firing a weapon at a residence.

Cordova Torres allegedly began his violent escapade on November 11 when a homeowner discovered multiple bullet strikes at their property. On November 24, he shot Marcus Adams, leaving him dead near 19th Avenue and Greenway Road.

Less than a week later, on November 29, Andres Olguin was shot at a bus stop near 19th Avenue and Thunderbird Road. Both victims were pronounced dead at the respective crime scenes.

Toni Perez, Olguin’s mother, expressed disbelief at her son being targeted while sitting at a bus stop. She reported that detectives indicated Cordova Torres did not know Olguin, and that the random shootings left her seeking justice.

Adams was discovered early on November 24 after being shot multiple times. Evidence from the scene revealed 14 spent shell casings.

Olguin suffered 11 gunshot wounds. At the bus stop, law enforcement found 15 spent shell casings.

The Phoenix Police Department confirmed that ballistic evidence linked the two cases. Investigators collected surveillance footage which identified Cordova Torres at the crime scenes.

According to court documents, he was seen on video approaching both victims before firing and then fleeing on an e-bike. Cordova Torres reportedly used a 9mm handgun during the incidents.

His employer confirmed that he worked nights at a location between two to eight miles from the shooting sites. Cordova Torres is currently held on a $3 million bond and is scheduled to appear in court on December 11.
