| Family and #PHXPD Plead for Info in Fatal Shooting of 23-year-old | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/1999 | Police | | 7/28/2021 12:00:00 AM | | https://youtu.be/0Sl82OEinBA | Family and #PHXPD Plead for Info in Fatal Shooting of 23-year-old | <div class="ExternalClassFA28B43CCA70486E91E65CAC53D8E3B8"><html>
<p>
Brenda Gilliam-Miller sits surrounded by her family at the Phoenix Police Headquarters. She is here to talk about her 23-year-old daughter, Destiny, who was killed in mid-July in what investigators believe is a random shooting.<br><br>"She was a very nurturing person, and this is the one time she actually left the house and she didn't make it home," mom said. "Destiny wasn't the type to be in the streets. Destiny was usually at home, and this was her trying to be a friend to somebody, and it cost her her life."<br><br>Destiny had gone out to meet friends in the area of 17th Street and McDowell Road. Just before 3:30 that morning—July 18—shots rang out into the group she was with. Destiny was hit, and taken to the hospital, where she later died. <br><br>
"We're lost without her and we just don't understand why.," mom said through tears.<br><br>Surveillance video from that Sunday morning shows a dark-colored vehicle of interest that was leaving the area at the time. Police are hoping anyone who was there might have information that could lead to an arrest for this murder.<br><br>
"She wasn't one to talk about people," Brenda said of her daughter. "She was one to help people. You know. She saw the beauty in everything and everyone. So for us to lose her like this, it just, we just don't understand. And we just need to understand."<br><br>Sitting next to mom was Bryana, Destiny's sister. She says she talked to Destiny everyday, multiple times a day, and she can't believe her sister is gone.<br><br>
"I wake up every day and it's like oh ok, and then reality sets in that I'm not going to see my sister again," Bryana said. "It's just been really hard."<br><br>
If you have information about this case, or were there that morning and saw anything, please contact Phoenix Police at 602-262-6141, or report anonymously to <a target="_blank" href="https://silentwitness.org/">Silent Witness</a> at 480-WITNESS.<br></p>

As the Chief Administrative Officer for the city, Zuercher oversees the largest council-manager form of government in the United States, with nearly 15,000 city employees. <br><br>“As city manager, I have worked hard to place the city on a sound financial footing, to build a strong bench of leaders and employees, and to further sustainable economic growth in the city that I love," Zuecher said. “I believe these goals have been advanced significantly in my eight years of service as city manager, and so it is now time for me to move forward." <br><br>At the time he was appointed City Manager, the city was experiencing a $37 million dollar deficit. He will leave the city with a $30 million dollar budget surplus. <br><br>In a note to employees announcing his retirement, Zuercher offered his thanks to the Mayor and City Council, as well as employees. “I want to thank each city employee for the work you do every day to make Phoenix a diverse, dynamic and desirable community," he wrote. “It is my hope to be able to thank as many of you as possible between now and October 8 for what you do to serve the residents of Phoenix."<br><br><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span>Mr. Zuercher will remain as City Manager for the next 11 weeks. During that time, the Mayor and City Council will develop a recruitment process to select his replacement. In our council-manager form of government, the city manager is the one city position hired directly by the Mayor and City Council.<span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span><br></html></div> | | News | article |

<div>As construction continues on the <a href="/waterservices/dpp" target="_blank"><strong>Drought Pipeline Project</strong></a>, Phoenix Water Services launches new smartphone app. The Drought Pipeline app will provide users with current and upcoming construction schedules, traffic updates and road closures. The app is available for free download on<a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/drought-pipeline-project/id1538466477" target="_blank"> <strong>iOS</strong></a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiewit.phxwatersmart" target="_blank"><strong>Google Play</strong></a><strong>.</strong><br></div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>The app includes: <br></div>
<div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Push notifications, by location, with updates about construction. </div>
<div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Photo and video library of construction progress.</div>
<div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Links to frequently asked questions about the project. </div>
<div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>A contact form where users can submit questions or comments directly to project staff.</div>
<div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Information about other Phoenix Water Services projects. </div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Construction on the project is expected to be completed by early 2023. Over 400,000 customers in North Phoenix are served exclusively by Colorado River water treated at two water treatment plants. The new pipelines and pump stations will be used to alleviate the effects of drought, by ensuring that water supplies from the Salt and Verde Rivers are available to north Phoenix during the shortage on the Colorado River. </div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>The <a href="/waterservices/dpp" target="_blank"><strong>Drought Pipeline Project</strong></a> is essential to the economic health and vitality of Phoenix. This project will ensure all residents have access to safe, reliable, clean water. </div>

<div>About Phoenix Water <br></div>
<div>The City of Phoenix Water Services Department is more than 110 years old, providing services to the nation's fifth largest city encompassing nearly 540 square miles. With the dedicated efforts of over 1,300 employees, Phoenix Water treats and distributes tap water to 1.7 million customers daily and manages the city's sewer system. The sewer system handles wastewater treatment operations for 2.9 million residents in five valley cities. Infrastructure includes eight water and wastewater treatment plants, nearly 300 pumps, well, lift and pressure stations, over 7,000 miles of water main, 55,000 fire hydrants and 100,00 manholes and cleanouts. Phoenix's water and sewer rates are among the lowest of comparable-sized cities nationwide. Our tap water supplies are in excellent shape due to decades of planning and multiple water sources. The city reuses nearly all of its wastewater on non-edible crops, wetlands and energy production.<br></div>
