CHANDLER, AZ — Police have made a homicide arrest nearly two months after the death of a woman in Chandler.

A 23-year-old woman was found dead on Dec. 3, 2022, just before 7 p.m., near Dobson and Warner roads.

Police say the woman’s boyfriend, 23-year-old Jesus Gonzalez, was aware of her death but failed to report it to authorities. He was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of failure to report.

Detectives eventually determined the woman’s death was the result of a domestic violence homicide. Autopsy evidence and “additional follow-up” confirmed that Gonzalez killed her, police say.

On Jan. 23, 2023, Gonzalez was arrested and booked into jail on a second-degree homicide charge.

The victim has not been publicly named.
