Phoenix police are investigating after a man was shot and killed while walking to his car.

Officers responded around 10:45 p.m. to a neighborhood near 67th Avenue and Thomas Road.

Investigators on the scene said Horacio De Jesus Pena, 32, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead. 

Family members tell ABC15 Pena was "a quiet guy" who was coming home from work. A cousin of the man said the family doesn't know what happened. 

Police say there are no witnesses to the shooting, however one person did see a white Lincoln or Cadillac type vehicle in the roadway prior to the shooting that fled west on Flower Street.
