911 tapes will be made public Friday

Tapes of a 911 call made on the night of a six-victim homicide will be released Friday by Yuma Police. The tape is of a call that alerted police to 2037 E. La Mesa St. on the night of June 24. Officers responded and found one person with multiple gun shot wounds outside and five dead inside the home.

The identifying information of the caller has been removed from the tape, according to a news release.

The investigation continues into the murder of Adrienne Heredia, 30, and her four children: Andreas Crawford, 13; Enrique Bedoya, 12; Inez Newman, 9; and Danny Heredia III, 6. Luis Rios, 35, Heredia's boyfriend, was found shot in the backyard of the residence.

Thursday, police released information about the recovery of a vehicle involved in the murder investigation. The 2000 blue Dodge Durango sport utility vehicle, registered to Rios, is believed to have been taken from the Heredia residence on the night of the murders.

Investigators recovered the vehicle at 5:30 a.m. Saturday in the 600 block of West 21st Street, according to police spokesman Clint Norred. Police are seeking any information about the whereabouts or occupants of the vehicle between the afternoon of June 24 and the early morning hours of June 25.

The vehicle had an Arizona license plate and a large RC Liquor decal in the rear window, according to a news release.

Norred declined to comment on what kind of evidence may have been found inside the vehicle.

The crime scene at 2037 E. La Mesa St. was closed down Thursday, and the home was turned over to the property's management company. People could be seen outside the home Thursday afternoon.

The 2000 block of La Mesa Street was opened to traffic Thursday after having been closed since June 24.

Police continue to search for a suspect that matches a sketch released soon after the murder. The Yuma police has received many calls and encourage anyone with information about the case to call 783-4421 or 78-CRIME to remain anonymous.
