Phoenix police said Vincent Quimayousie is the man suspected of killing a teenager during an alleged armed robbery attempt at a park on Thursday.

Quimayousie, 18, was arrested the same day of the incident on suspicion of homicide and armed robbery, but police withheld his identity until Monday.

Quimayousie is suspected of shooting Andrew Murphy, 16, in Marivue Park at 5500 West Osborn Road in Phoenix. Police said Quimayousie was trying to rob Andrew's 14-year-old sister when Andrew intervened. Police believe Quimayousie shot Andrew and fled the area.

Police found Andrew with a gunshot wound to his upper body near the restroom at the park. Andrew was taken to a hospital where he later died, police said.

Quimayousie is suspected of robbing Andrew, his sister and three other people who were not injured, said Officer James R. Holmes.

Officers set up a perimeter after talking to witnesses and arrested Quimayousie near 5400 West Osborn Road, police said.

Quimayousie was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, armed robbery and aggravated assault, according to police.

Witnesses told police that Quimayousie may have committed one armed robbery before he shot Andrew. Police believe Quimayousie may have had contact with others before the robberies occurred, Holmes said.

Officers are asking that anyone who had contact with Quimayousie or has information about this investigation call Phoenix police at 602-262-6141.

Andrew and his family were active church members. Karisa Winston, a family friend said Andrew's father told his family, "We must not only forgive the young man who took Andrew's life, we must love him too."

Andrew's sister, who rushed to his side after he was shot, said the last word she heard him say was, "Amen."

Funeral services for Andrew will be held Sept. 23 at Beacon Light Seventh-day Adventist Church.

A fund was set up to help with funeral costs. Beacon Light Seventh-day Adventist Church can be contacted at 602-285-9391.
